Appendectomy can be performed using various techniques, including traditional open surgery and minimally invasive approaches such as laparoscopic appendectomy. In open surgery, a single incision is made in the lower right abdomen to access and remove the appendix. Laparoscopic appendectomy involves making several small incisions through which a camera and specialized surgical instruments are inserted, allowing for a less invasive procedure with smaller scars, reduced pain, and quicker recovery times.
