Appendicitis
Appendicitis occurs when the appendix, a small, finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine, becomes inflamed or infected.
This condition often causes sudden pain that begins near the navel and shifts to the lower right abdomen. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, fever, and loss of appetite. If left untreated, the appendix can rupture, leading to serious and potentially life-threatening infection.
At Tinsley Surgical in Wilmington, NC, we provide prompt evaluation and treatment for appendicitis, ensuring safe and effective surgical care when it’s needed most.
Our care focuses on helping patients:
• Relieve Pain and Eliminate Infection
• Prevent Complications such as Rupture or Abscess Formation
• Perform Laparoscopic Appendectomy for Faster Recovery
• Support Full Healing and Return to Normal Activity
Laparoscopic appendectomy is the preferred treatment for most cases of appendicitis. This minimally invasive procedure uses small incisions and specialized instruments to remove the appendix safely, resulting in less discomfort, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.
If you’re experiencing sudden or severe abdominal pain, don’t wait; appendicitis can worsen quickly. Contact Tinsley Surgical today to schedule an urgent evaluation. Fill out the form below, and our team will be ready to help you.
