As a rule, the above pathology manifests itself clearly expressed clinical signs. The operation of appendicitis is the only method of treatment.

Clinical signs of pathology

Acute right-sided pain in the lower abdomen is a key symptom of appendicitis. Within two hours, rare colic develop into a permanent cutting pain. If the patient lies on his right side and pulls his knees bent at the knees to his stomach, severe pain weakens. At the slightest movement, abdominal pain increases sharply. Most often, appendicitis is located in the right side, however, medical specialists claim that they had to remove left-sided appendicitis. In this case, the appendage of the rectum will be on the left. It is worth noting that the pain that arises during the attack correlates with the localization of appendicitis. The course of the disease can be acute and chronic. In acute course, pathological changes are observed, observed in the first day after the onset of inflammation: dysfunction of lympho- and blood flow, edema, the appearance of specific phagocytes (siderophages).

Operation of appendicitis

Patients who are admitted to the hospital with suspicion of appendicitis should be supervised for some time. At this time they hand over a number of tests. After confirming the diagnosis of "appendicitis acute" surgery - the only method of treatment. Surgical intervention can be carried out in two ways: traditional and endoscopic. So, how is the operation of appendicitis carried out in the traditional way? The scalpel in the right side cuts muscle tissue, then the specialist examines the appendix and nearby tissues. After that, the appendix is removed. When the appendix breaks, peritonitis develops very often. The postoperative period is accompanied by a rather painful and unpleasant clinic. Due to severe pain in the lower abdomen during the day you can not get out of bed. Even after discharge at the site of the incision, the patient does not go through unpleasant sensations for a long time. Approximately a week later, the manipulation of the removal of seams. It is practically painless.

Innovative methods of treatment of appendicitis

Modern methods of surgical treatment of appendicitis require the use of an endoscope. Through a small incision into the abdominal cavity a tube with a chamber is inserted. The image from the camera is transferred to the monitor. Through special sections, the specialist cuts the inflamed appendage. Operation of appendicitis with an endoscope can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Due to minimal operational actions, the rehabilitation period after the operation is only 1-2 days. The presented method of treatment is more effective than traditional surgical techniques.

If you are diagnosed with appendicitis, the cost of the operation will be different, depending on the nature and course of the process, the chosen treatment method and the length of stay in the clinic. The cost of the operation can vary in the range from 8 to 40 thousand rubles.
