How Can It Be Treated?

Treatment for appendicitis differs for different cases. In some cases, appendicitis may get better without even surgery. Treatment may involve only antibiotics and a liquid diet. In most though, surgery will be necessary. The type of surgery will depend on your case. If your abscess hasn’t ruptured, you might receive oral medicines first.
Surgery may be necessary right away if you have a ruptured abscess or appendix. The Surgery to remove the appendix is called appendectomy.
Laparoscopic surgery can be performed by the doctor to perform this operation. Laparoscopy is less invasive which makes the recovery time shorter. However, open surgery might be imminent if you have peritonitis or an abscess.
