Acute Appendicitis — appendix inflammation.
In most cases this problem is fully treated with surgery — the most important step is early diagnosis.
Why it happens (simple explanation)
Main cause — blockage of the appendix by food waste or stool leading to bacterial growth. Infections, trauma or dietary issues can also trigger it.
How it is diagnosed
Evaluation is done step by step:
- Surgeon or traumatologist examination (abdominal pressure tests)
- Blood test (elevated white blood cells)
- Abdominal ultrasound or CT scan (to see the appendix)
How it is treated
Treatment is mainly surgical.
Surgical method
Laparoscopic appendectomy — removal of the appendix through small incisions (modern and fast-recovery method).
Medications
Antibiotics and pain relievers are given before surgery.
