Appendicitis usually causes pain that starts near the navel and moves to the lower right abdomen, often with fever and nausea. It is treated as a surgical emergency, since a delayed diagnosis can lead to rupture and further complications.
Our emergency surgical team is available around the clock to evaluate and operate on suspected appendicitis, favoring a laparoscopic approach whenever it is appropriate for the patient.
Our Care Includes
- Rapid diagnosis in the emergency department
