    Cost of Diagnostic Tests Performed Before Appendix Removal Surgery in Chennai

    • Blood test- Rs. 100 to Rs. 300
    • Urine Test- Rs. 100 to Rs. 350
    • Abdominal X-Ray- Rs. 200 to Rs. 500 per view

    Benefits of Laparoscopic Appendectomy

    The technique is minimally invasive. Instead of making one large incision, 3 keyhole-sized incisions are made across the abdomen to carry out the procedure.

    • Minimal damage is inflicted on the skin tissues during the surgery. Thus, the chances of scarring are also minimal.
    • Due to the small size of the incision, the chances of bleeding or infection during or after the surgery are less.
    • The pain is also bearable as the size of the incision is small. You are less likely to need strong pain medications.
    • Recovery after laparoscopic appendectomy is quick and short, and the patient will have fewer restrictions over activities.
    • The patient is discharged from the hospital on the same day.
