Chronic Appendicitis

While acute appendicitis is a sudden and severe inflammation of the appendix, chronic appendicitis is characterized by recurrent or long-term inflammation of the appendix. It can cause symptoms similar to acute appendicitis, such as abdominal pain and fever.

Acute Appendicitis

Acute appendicitis is a sudden and severe inflammation of the appendix, often causing abdominal pain, fever, and other symptoms. It is considered a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment, typically through surgical removal of the inflamed appendix.

Appendectomy

Appendectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the appendix. It is performed in cases of acute or chronic appendicitis and involves the complete removal of the appendix.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy

Laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the appendix. It is often the preferred method for removing the inflamed appendix, as it involves smaller incisions and typically results in a faster recovery compared to open surgery.
