Laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to remove the appendix, typically due to inflammation caused by a fecalith, a hardened piece of stool. The surgery involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which a camera and surgical tools are inserted. The surgeon then identifies the inflamed appendix, removes it, and closes the incisions. Laparoscopic appendectomy is preferred over open surgery for its shorter recovery time, reduced risk of infection, and less scarring. It is a safe and effective treatment for appendicitis caused by a fecalith.
