Open Appendectomy is a traditional surgical procedure to remove the appendix, typically performed for complicated appendicitis cases or when laparoscopic methods are not feasible. The procedure involves making a larger incision to access the appendix directly.

While the incision is larger than with laparoscopic surgery, the procedure remains highly effective in treating appendicitis and preventing rupture. This method may also be used if there are concerns about complications, such as an abscess or gangrene.

Postoperative care involves managing pain, monitoring for infection, and preventing complications. Patients usually require a longer recovery time compared to laparoscopic appendectomy and may need a hospital stay of a few days.

Open appendectomy is a reliable and effective option for patients with complicated appendicitis, providing thorough treatment when minimally invasive methods are not suitable.
