The appendix is a small, tubular structure up to 10 cm long. The position of the appendix can vary from person to person. In most cases, it is located in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, but deviations from the norm are possible. This makes diagnosing appendicitis difficult. Patients may confuse symptoms with gynecological or urological problems. For a long time, the appendix was considered a vestigial organ that had lost its biological function. However, recent research shows that the appendix plays a role in maintaining intestinal microflora and can serve as a reservoir for beneficial bacteria that aid in digestion. Inflammation of the appendix is medically called appendicitis.

Appendicitis removal is necessary because appendicitis is life-threatening. If the appendix ruptures, infection spreads throughout the abdominal cavity, causing peritonitis—a serious complication with a high risk of death. Timely surgical intervention prevents dangerous consequences, speeds recovery, and preserves the patient’s health.

Why is Appendectomy Necessary

Appendectomy is necessary because an inflamed appendix cannot be cured with pills or injections. When the appendix tissue becomes inflamed, blood flow is disrupted, purulent processes develop, and medications are unable to eliminate the source of the disease.

Conservative therapy only masks the symptoms but does not solve the problem. Therefore, the only reliable treatment is surgical removal.

Appendicitis: How It Develops, Key Symptoms, and Diagnosis

Appendicitis develops acutely and requires careful attention to the body’s signals. Timely recognition of symptoms is crucial for the patient’s health and safety. Proper diagnosis helps avoid complications and provide the most effective treatment.

Causes of Appendicitis

Appendicitis can occur for various reasons. The main trigger is a blockage of the appendix. This condition is often triggered by large urinary or fecal stones, which block the normal outflow of contents and cause inflammation. Other factors include:

viral or bacterial infections;
open or closed abdominal trauma can damage the appendix, increasing the risk of appendicitis surgery;
people aged 10 to 30 are most susceptible to the disease;
family history – some patients may have a genetic predisposition to developing appendicitis.

Impaired blood supply to the organ and autoimmune reactions (the immune system reacting to the body’s own tissues) increase the risk of appendicitis. The disease often requires immediate medical attention, as complications are serious and dangerous.

Symptoms of Appendicitis

There are several key signs to pay attention to. Symptoms can progress from mild discomfort to severe pain:

Primary symptoms include mild abdominal pain that gradually intensifies. The pain is often migratory, beginning in the navel area and moving to the lower right quadrant of the abdomen. The patient may experience nausea. A mild fever may also indicate inflammation. Loss of appetite and reluctance to eat are additional signs of the disease. Primary symptoms are not always clearly defined.
Disease progression. Without timely treatment, appendicitis symptoms worsen. The pain becomes acute and constant. Temperature rises above 38 degrees Celsius. The patient experiences difficulty walking or changing body position. If the appendix is affecting other organs, constipation or diarrhea may occur. The body responds to the inflammation with an increased heart rate.

Diagnosis of appendicitis

Diagnosis often requires a combination of various examination methods. During the examination, the doctor checks for abdominal tenderness by palpation. The doctor analyzes the response to pressure and rebound. Additionally, laboratory tests (blood tests) are prescribed. Elevated white blood cell counts (leukocytes) indicate the development of appendicitis. A urine test can be useful to rule out urinary tract diseases. If there is uncertainty, the specialist prescribes additional tests:

Ultrasound. This method allows visualization of the appendix and the detection of abnormalities.
Computer tomography. This is recommended for a more detailed examination.

Fast and accurate diagnosis is the key to effective patient treatment. Contact the New Life Clinic and receive high-quality medical care using modern approaches and innovative equipment.

How is an Appendectomy Performed in Kyiv at New Life Clinic

An appendectomy is performed to remove the inflamed organ. The surgery requires general anesthesia. In the first few days after an appendectomy, it is important to monitor abdominal stress and diet. Typically, normal activity can be resumed within 3-5 days. The cost of the surgery depends on the type of procedure and the clinical situation. You can find out the price and schedule an appointment at the New Life Medical Center by phone or directly on the website.

Appendix Access

An open appendectomy involves making one large incision in the lower right abdomen. An appendectomy (laparoscopy) involves inserting instruments and a camera through small incisions up to 1 cm.

Appendectomy

The surgeon locates and removes the inflamed area. If necessary, the surrounding area is treated to eliminate any possible infections or abscesses.

Incision Closure

If the surgery was open, the incision is sutured. Laparoscopy most often uses special staples or adhesives.

Postoperative Period

The patient is transferred to a ward for observation. Pain medications or other medications are prescribed.

Possible Complications of Delayed Appendicitis Treatment

Possible Complications of a Delayed Appendicectomy
While most people recover from an appendectomy without complications, long-term consequences are possible. In some cases, patients may experience changes in bowel function (irritable bowel syndrome). If appendicitis is not addressed promptly, it can lead to various complications. Some of the complications include:

Peritonitis

Peritonitis – inflammation of the abdominal cavity. This occurs if the inflamed appendix bursts, releasing its contents (pus, microorganisms) into the abdomen. Emergency surgery is required.

Abscess

Abscess – the formation of a localized pocket of pus. Drainage and surgical intervention are necessary.

Other long-term effects

Additionally, scar tissue in the abdominal cavity may lead to bowel obstruction and abdominal pain.

Уже давно стали беспокоить боли в правом подреберье, но думала пройдет постепенно. Но, когда совсем прижало обратилась к врачам клиники Нью Лайф. Посмотрели, обследовали, в общем вынесли вердикт, что ничего не поделаешь, а надо оперироваться, естественно предложили это сделать у них. Долго не уговаривали, так как клинику знаю уже давно, и слышала только хорошие отзывы. В общем у меня тоже все в порядке. Операция прошла гладко, и восстановление тоже было быстрым. Теперь все отлично, рекомендую всем, у кого такие же проблемы обращаться в эту клинику.

Удалил желчный пузырь. Я до этой операции вообще не знал, что это. Сейчас уже знаю и понимаю, что надо было правильный образ жизни вести. Но ничего врачи дали мне рекомендации, как надо питаться и вообще, что можно, а что нельзя при проблемах с желчным пузырем. Теперь, хотя и поздновато, но буду стараться соблюдать их требования.

Андрей

Страшно переживала за операцию по удалению желчного пузыря. Но все прошло благополучно, оказывается сейчас не делают больших разрезов и заживает все очень быстро. Хорошая хирургия в клинике Нью Лайф, мне все подошло и главное нет никаких очередей и длительных ожиданий.

Обратилась в клинику в связи с проблемами с желудком. Очень порадовала оперативность сотрудников, все очень четко и главное грамотно назначили. После получения результатов обследования было принято решение о необходимости операции. Я немного конечно сомневалась, проконсультировалась со знакомыми врачами, и они подтвердили правильность рекомендаций. После этого я уже не сомневалась, где и кто будет делать операцию спасибо хирургам. Рекомендую всем.

Спасибо доктору Ноге Давиду Анатольевичу. Он меня очень ободрял перед операцией и вообще мне очень понравился как доктор. Таких специалистов бы побольше. И главное, что сама операция прошла очень хорошо и без осложнений. Клиника Нью Лайф – это моя клиника, говорю от всего сердца и советую, если есть проблемы со здоровьем обращаться именно в нее.

Была прооперирована в клинике Нью Лайф, по неотложке по поводу камней в желчном пузыре. Все началось довольно внезапно, сильные боли в правом подреберье, желтушность и т.д. Была мысль позвонить просто в скорую, но один знакомы посоветовал попробовать эту клинику, сказал, что там сам недавно оперировался по поводу грыжи, и остался очень доволен. Конечно я прислушалась к его совету, ведь здоровье дело серьёзное. И могу со всей ответственностью сказать, что все прошло очень хорошо. На мою заявку отреагировали практически сразу, провели предварительное обследование и затем прооперировали, к тому же дали ряд бесценных рекомендаций, что позволяет мне и сейчас чувствовать себя практически здоровой. В общем сейчас я у них постоянно наблюдаюсь у семейного врача и очень довольна.

Екатерина

В клинике Нью Лайф мне помогли при кровотечении из желудка. Доктора и медсестры сработали очень оперативно и лечение помогло прямо на глазах. Я очень благодарна им за это, поэтому и обсуживаюсь теперь здесь постоянно, уверена что если, что всегда помогут.
