Laparoscopic Surgery for Appendix – Dr Uday Ravi

Dr Uday Ravi is a trusted laparoscopic surgeon in Bangalore, specialising in advanced keyhole surgeries for appendix, gallbladder, hernia, piles, fissure, and varicose veins. His approach focuses on minimal incisions, reduced pain, and quicker recovery — helping patients get back to their daily routine sooner.

Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery, is performed using small cuts and a high-definition camera, allowing the surgeon to operate with precision. This technique leads to smaller scars, faster wound healing, and better overall patient comfort.

Understanding Appendicitis

The appendix is a small organ located in the lower right side of the abdomen. When it becomes inflamed, the condition is known as appendicitis. If untreated, it can rupture and cause severe infections.

Common symptoms include:

Sudden abdominal pain, often starting near the belly button

Pain shifting to the lower right side

Fever, nausea, and vomiting

Abdominal swelling and tenderness

Loss of appetite

If these symptoms appear, it is important to seek immediate medical help.
