  • sorry to hear that.

  • Just one. I am liberal with the use of JPs. It was a plegmon it looked clean and didn't left a drain. A week later a 6 cm abscess developed. It was solved laparoscopically.

    Thanks.

  • yes. there are a lot of variables. good for you

  • how much laparoscopy cost?

  • more than open but benefits are unvaluable

  • My aunt had appendicitis few years back, and the doctors mistook it for an ovary inflammation, so she spent a week on a OBGYN wing, and when they realized that the medications don't work, they opened her and found out that her appendix has bursted! Lucky she didn't die of septic shock.

  • Thanks. laparoscopy has the possibility to decrease the amount of misdiagnosis. Now it is a great procedure with low risk.

  • I just had this procedure done today. It was very helpful seeing how it was performed. Thank you.

  • please help me.. the doctors did blood work on me and said i was fine. but i wake up at night crying. it hurts a lot. but the pain comes and goes.... i can barely eat im not as hungry as i usually am... i have problems going to the bathroom.. i feel like im going to puke but i havent.. my mom gives my ibprofin tht helps for like 30 min.. and as im typing right now it HURTS! pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee help me

  • Lots of money on equipment(ligasure) when this could be done with $16 worth of clips and a cautery+ endoloop

  • i had this done about two weeks ago and i was out of the hospital the very next day, i also just got the bandages off and the incisions are so small. its really amazing how they do surgery now. its also pretty crazy to think this is what i look like on the inside

  • I had my appendix removed 4 days ago laporascopic, and it still hurts a bit. I had a drain (that ugly plastic bag )for 1 day, but why? Can you tell me? My appendix was stick to the ovary.

  • I just had my appendix removed but It was with open surgery, not laparoscopic. It wasnt all that bad but the itching is driving me to the brink of insanity!!! I get the staples out in about 5 days
