Appendix Surgery
Interval Appendectomy
Interval appendectomy is a planned elective procedure performed 6-8 weeks after initial conservative management of an appendicular abscess or mass. This staged approach allows inflammation to resolve before definitive surgery, reducing complication rates and enabling a laparoscopic approach. This treatment is available at Dr. Adarsh's Bangalore practice with personalised care.
About Interval Appendectomy
