This is where you will come to have your surgery performed. The visits to your surgeon before and after surgery will be at their consulting rooms.
Appendectomy
Laparoscopic: several small incisions (cuts) are made in the lower right abdomen and a narrow tube with a tiny camera attached (laparoscope) in inserted. This allows the surgeon a view of the appendix and, by inserting small surgical instruments through the other cuts, the appendix can be removed.
