Frequently Asked Questions
Pain usually begins near the navel and shifts to the lower right abdomen, accompanied by loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, low-grade fever, and inability to stand straight.
An inflamed appendix can burst within 24 to 72 hours of symptom onset, spilling pus and bacteria into the abdominal cavity (peritonitis), which is a life-threatening medical emergency.
The surgical procedure typically takes between 25 to 45 minutes under general anesthesia, depending on the severity of the inflammation.
Patients are routinely discharged the next morning and can comfortably return to school or office work within 5 to 7 days.
