Appendicitis and Appendectomy Treatment at King’s College Hospital London in Dubai
Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes irritated or infected, which causes it to swell and trigger pain in the lower right side of the abdomen. It can develop quickly and often needs prompt medical attention to avoid complications. At King’s College Hospital London in Dubai, we diagnose and treat appendicitis using both minimally invasive and traditional surgical techniques, depending on the severity of the condition.
What does appendicitis treatment involve?
The standard treatment for appendicitis is surgical removal of the appendix, known as an appendectomy. Most cases can be performed with a laparoscopic approach, which uses small incisions and a camera to guide the procedure. This technique helps reduce pain and supports faster recovery. If the appendix has already ruptured, open surgery may be needed to clean the abdominal cavity safely.
Your care step by step
- Review of symptoms and medical history
- Physical examination of the abdomen
- Blood tests, urine tests, and imaging
- Laparoscopic or open appendectomy
- Monitoring and follow-up after surgery
When should you see us?
You should seek medical care right away if you experience sudden abdominal pain that moves toward the lower right side, especially when it comes with nausea, vomiting, or fever. Pain that worsens over several hours, loss of appetite, or bloating can also suggest appendicitis. Immediate evaluation is important because untreated appendicitis can lead to rupture.
What does appendicitis cause, and how is it diagnosed at King’s College Hospital Dubai?
A blockage inside the appendix can come from stool, swelling, small foreign material, or, at times, parasites. As bacteria build up, the appendix becomes enlarged and filled with pus.
Diagnosis may include:
- Blood tests to look for signs of infection
- Urine tests to rule out problems coming from the urinary system
- Ultrasound or X-rays to help confirm inflammation
Early treatment can prevent the condition from getting worse.
