குடல்வால் அழற்சி
குடல்வால் அழற்சி என்றால் என்ன? குடல்வால் அழற்சி நோய் என்பது குடல்வாலில் ஏற்படும் வீக்கம். குடல் வால் என்பது பெருங்குடலின் முற்பகுதியில் இணைக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் ஒரு சிறிய குழாய் போன்ற அமைப்பாகும்.
What is an appendicectomy?
An appendicectomy is an operation to remove the appendix, which is a small, tube-like part of the bowel. It often needs to be performed urgently when someone has an infected and inflamed appendix (appendicitis). It is also known as an appendicectomy.
Why is an appendicectomy performed?
An appendicectomy is usually done because the appendix is inflamed or has burst.(Appendicitis may be caused by various infections such as virus, bacteria, or parasites, in your digestive tract. Or it may happen when the tube that joins your large intestine and appendix is blocked or trapped by stool. Sometimes tumors can cause appendicitis. The appendix then becomes sore and swollen.)
How to prepare for an appendicectomy:
The hospital will tell you how long you should fast (have nothing to eat or drink) before the operation. You might be given fluids through a drip (intravenously, directly into a vein) so you don't get dehydrated.
Your doctors and nurses will explain the operation. Ask questions if you're not sure about something.
What happens during an appendicectomy?
A general anaesthetic is needed for this kind of surgery.
The surgeon might do the appendicectomylaparoscopically, through several tiny cuts. Sometimes a larger cut is needed — this is known as an open appendicectomy.
During and after the surgery you will be carefully monitored.
You are likely to be given antibiotics and pain relief.
