Appendicitis is a condition in which the appendix becomes inflamed and filled with pus. Your appendix is a small pouch that extends from your colon. The appendix has no known purpose. Appendicitis causes pain in the lower right abdomen. Appendectomy, surgical removal of the appendix is the standard treatment for appendicitis.

 

The surgeons of Hudson Valley Surgical Group are experts at traditional and laparoscopic appendectomy. Laparoscopic surgical methods are a much less invasive surgery and can usually be completed in less than an hour. Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions and is associated with less pain, bleeding, and swelling. It has a quicker recovery time, allowing you to resume your favorite activities sooner.
