Dr. Pankaj Kumar Sinha: Expert in Laparoscopic Surgery for Acute and Complicated Appendicitis

​

Dr. Pankaj Kumar Sinha is highly skilled in performing minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery for acute and complicated appendicitis, offering patients effective solutions for this common and potentially severe condition. Appendicitis occurs when the appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine, becomes inflamed due to infection or obstruction. This can lead to intense abdominal pain, nausea, fever, and, in severe cases, complications such as a ruptured appendix or abscess formation.

​

When immediate surgery is required to remove the inflamed appendix, Dr. Sinha specializes in laparoscopic appendectomy, a modern, minimally invasive technique. This procedure involves making small incisions in the abdomen, through which a laparoscope (a tiny camera) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. The camera provides a high-resolution view of the appendix and surrounding structures, enabling Dr. Sinha to perform the operation with exceptional precision and care.

​

Advantages of Laparoscopic Appendectomy:

​

• Minimal scarring: Smaller incisions result in less visible scars.

• Reduced pain: Patients experience less postoperative discomfort compared to open surgery.

• Shorter hospital stay: Most patients are discharged within a day or two.

• Faster recovery: Patients typically return to normal activities within a week.

For cases of complicated appendicitis, such as a ruptured appendix, abscesses, or peritonitis, Dr. Sinha’s expertise ensures that even complex situations are managed efficiently.
