Overview

About Laparoscopic/ Robotic Appendectomy

Appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix, most often performed as an emergency for acute appendicitis.

Laparoscopic and robotic approaches use small incisions for faster recovery, less pain and lower wound infection rates.

Prompt surgery prevents complications such as perforation and abscess formation.
