Appendectomy

An appendectomy is an emergency surgical procedure to remove an inflamed or infected appendix, a condition known as appendicitis. Without surgery, the appendix can rupture, spilling infectious material into the bloodstream and abdomen. This can be life-threatening.

The symptoms are usually pain followed by nausea and vomiting. The pain usually begins on the right side of abdomen. The abdominal wall may become very sensitive to gentle pressure. Surgery is usually the only way to treat appendicitis.

Hemorrhoid Removal

Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the lower rectum caused by increased straining or pressure. They cause pain, itching, bleeding and swelling. Unfortunately, hemorrhoids often do not go away on their own and worsen over time. Hemorrhoid removal is an effective treatment.

A hemorrhoidectomy is surgery to remove hemorrhoids. Banding or cutting off a hemorrhoid’s blood supply with tiny rubber bands is the most common and effective non-surgical hemorrhoid removal treatment.
