one of the entry points. Then a
mini camcorder is carefully placed inside. The specialist at ALSA takes a TV screen to
see inside your midsection and
guide the tools. Then the appendix is removed through one of the incisions. During a

Appendicitis and Appendectomy in children
Appendectomy is a surgical procedure that is done to remove the appendix in
case of a disease called appendicitis. The
appendix is a small, narrow pouch-like organ attached to your large intestine. It is
located on the lower right side of
the abdomen. The first sign of appendicitis is stomach pain that starts around the belly
button and spreads towards the
lower right side of the tummy. The pain is continuous and gets worse with time.
The exact function of an appendix is not known, and therefore it is not considered a
vital organ. Appendicitis is a very
commonly occurring infection in children, teenagers, and adults. During appendicitis,
the appendix becomes inflamed,
sore, swollen, and filled with pus. Infections from the appendix can spread to other
vital organs in the abdomen and can
cause serious damage; therefore, surgical removal of the appendix is recommended.
