Surgery performed to remove the infected appendix in acute appendicitis.

About Appendix removal

Appendix removal, also known as appendectomy, is a surgical procedure performed to treat appendicitis — a sudden and painful inflammation of the appendix. If left untreated, appendicitis can lead to rupture and serious complications such as infection or peritonitis. The procedure is usually performed as an emergency surgery to prevent health risks and ensure patient safety. In Turkey, appendectomy is commonly carried out using minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, which involves small incisions, faster healing, and less postoperative pain. In some cases, traditional open surgery may be required, depending on the severity of the inflammation. Recovery time is generally short, with most patients returning to daily activities within one to two weeks. HealMinded connects international patients with Turkey’s leading surgical teams and modern hospitals, ensuring safe and effective treatment at competitive prices. With expert surgeons, advanced technology, and affordable packages, patients benefit from world-class care and comprehensive support throughout their medical journey.
