What are the various types of appendectomy costs in India?

Type of Appendix surgeryCost in India (INR)
Laparoscopic appendectomyFrom 20,000 up to 4,50,000
Open appendectomyFrom 10,000 up to 3,80,000

Laparoscopic appendectomy:

In this surgery, a small cut is made near the navel, and a port is inserted through it. Through which a cannula is inserted. The cannula fills the abdomen cavity with carbon dioxide, which creates room for surgery and allows clearer images of the stomach cavity and its contents.

The cannula is removed, and the laparoscope is inserted. This allows the surgery process to be seen on the video screen, which assists the surgeon in discovering the appendix.

Open appendectomy:

A large cut is made on the lower right side of the abdomen, which helps separate stomach muscles and locate the appendix. If the appendix ruptures, abdominal fluid or swelling needs to be drained before the surgery. Normal saline solution is used to rinse the abdominal cavity. 

A common process involved in both types of appendectomy is closing the appendix with stitches, detaching it from the intestine, and then finally removing it.

Hlo doctor I'm 19 year old I'm getting ongoing stomach cramps, constipation sometimes blood in stool and also mucus I'm suffering this from past one month and i have low grade fever sometimes, fatigue, sounds in stomach

Female | 19

Being cramps, constipation, blood in the stool, mucus in the stool, low-grade fever, fatigue, and funny sounds in your abdomen are all signs that could indicate a problem in your stomach. If you're not feeling well, you should think about infections, inflammation, and probably allergies as the causes of the pain. We need to pay attention to our nutritional intake, drink water regularly, see a specialist for a full check-up, and, get the proper treatment for diseases.

Hi. It’s regarding my younger sister she’s 4. After Eid, she stopped eating and lost weight a bit. But she’s been eating well again for the last 2 weeks so her appetite is back to normal. She had an ear infection and flu right before she lost her appetite but her appetite loss happened after finishing the antibiotics. However, over the past months she always says ‘my leg hurts’ and she says it’s her ankle. It doesn’t make her cry or anything and it doesn’t stop her playing like a wild animal ???? but today she has blood in her poo and on tissue when wiping it was bright red blood it’s happened before when she was constipated she didn’t drink much water yesterday and my other sister also got the norovirus so it could be that- her poo was watery. She also catches colds frequently

Female | 4

 See­ing blood when she goes poo could me­an she's constipated. That can make poo hard to pass. It may also be­ from norovirus, which causes diarrhea and tummy aches. He­r sore leg nee­ds checking too. That pain may relate to he­r other problems or signal something e­lse. Make sure she­ drinks lots of water and eats healthy foods to he­lp her tummy feel be­tter. If the leg pain ge­ts worse or won't go away, take her to the doctor.

Some gastric problems and bimetic and stomach feel heavy Fever cold dry cough body pain since 10 _15 days

Female | 50

You are experiencing some stomach upset and feeling sluggish as well. If you have had a fever, cold, dry cough, or/and muscle aches for the last fortnight or more, this might indicate gastroenteritis (stomach flu) or other viral infections. Rest, take fluids only in plenty, and eat simple easily digestible meals. If the condition persists or becomes severe seek medical attention without delay.

These symptoms could be caused by a wide range of issues.. like infections, gastrointestinal problems, food poisoning, or other underlying health conditions. In the meantime.. make sure to stay hydrated, and drink small sips of water or clear fluids if you can tolerate them. Avoid heavy or spicy foods that might aggravate your stomach.

Hi Sir, kindly help me out to get out of this pain, confusion and frustration. I am Rohan from Pune. This is my Clinical summary -Rohan, a 29-year-old male, presented with chief complaints of reflux symptoms and severe abdominal pain persisting for the past 3 months.And episodes of diarrhea.Upon examination, his vital signs were stable. Diagnostic procedures, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, were performed, leading to the diagnosis of a duodenal ulcer, pan gastritis and pathological findings of lymphocytic colitis. The treatment approach involved the administration of medications, as mentioned in the prescription, to manage the condition. Regular follow-up visits were recommended to monitor the progress and adjust the treatment regimen accordingly. After two and a half months of treatment, significant improvement was noted, with no abdominal pain reported, and the patient's overall well-being has improved. Consequently, the dosage of medications has been reduced. Continued monitoring and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan are necessary to ensure complete resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrence. This was my condition eight months ago. Right now I am very frustrated because of gut problem. It's paining even after following treatment and strict diet for eight months. I almost lost 8 kg. I went for second opinion(Leading Gastroentrologist in pune) . That doctor told me that your ulcers are healed completely.And lymphocytic colitis was misdiagnosed. Now It's a IBS that causing the pain and not colitis.He prescribed me Librax(Clinidium+chlorobenzodioxide) two times in a day along with Amixide h(chlorobenzodioxide +amitryptiline) . Whenever my gut starts paining I took it and pain goes away completely like that problem doesn't exist.I am very confused about this.Stomach pain goes away and comes back. About year ago this problem has started. And just took those above medicines to cope up with pain One more thing to add here is that I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) few years back. I was taking escitalopram( Lexapro 10 mg)on and off prescribed by psychiatrist.But My Gastroenterologist told me to stop using lexapro as it can cause ulcer. So I stopped using it completely since year. I want to get completely rid of these medicines and want to live normal life.

Male | 29

Gut issues can be challenging. You've successfully healed ulcers, which is great, but IBS challenges remain. IBS is common and can cause belly pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Often, stress or certain foods trigger it. Medications like Librax and Amixide H, prescribed by your gastroenterologist, can help manage the symptoms. However, lifestyle changes are also important. Stress relief methods, regular exercise, and a fiber-rich, healthy diet can make a significant difference.

Sir Yesterday I was sitting and enjoyed some snacks.suddenly I felt uncomfortable my chest was shivering and full body get sweaty.i go near fan and relaxed for a while. But in morning I feel inadequate sleep not feeling well vertigo.

Male | 38

You may have some signs of indigestion, which is the result of gastritis when your stomach is having a difficult time digesting food. This may occur when you are eating fast or spicy food, which causes this. The chest shivering and sweaty sensation may be connected with your stomach feeling uncomfortable. Please try to eat less and don't keep away from spicy food.

I am 31 years old.i have lower back pain and lower right side abdominal pain.i poop 3-4 times a day.and I have sharp pain in right side breast nipples and armpit itching.these symptoms are not happening together.but sometimes some pain and other time different pain

Female | 31

Pain in the lower back and the lower right side of the abdomen can sometimes be caused by digestive disorders. There are also chances of pooping more often which may be due to diet or stress. The sharp pain in your right breast, the nipples, and the itchy armpits could be due to skin irritation. Water drinking, healthy food consumption, and loose clothing can be treatment options. If the symptoms do not disappear, it is essential to consult a gastroenterologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
