Laparoscopic Appendectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the appendix, typically performed for appendicitis. The surgeon makes small incisions, inserts a camera and surgical instruments, and removes the appendix through these incisions.

The minimally invasive nature of the surgery leads to smaller scars, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. This procedure can often be performed on an outpatient basis.

Postoperative care includes managing pain, ensuring proper wound care, and a gradual return to a normal diet. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days to a week.

Laparoscopic appendectomy is the preferred method for most cases of appendicitis, offering significant advantages in terms of recovery, complication rates, and cosmetic outcomes.
