Doctors may perform the following tests to diagnose appendicitis in children:

✓ Blood tests

⦿ Treatment of appendicitis in children

✓ The only treatment for appendicitis is appendicectomy, in which the appendix is removed. Appendicectomy is usually performed through open surgery or laparoscopy.

⦿ Open surgery.

In open surgery, doctors make a large incision in the abdomen and remove the appendix. Open surgery is the traditional treatment and takes longer than laparoscopic surgery.

⦿ Laparoscopy.

In laparoscopy, the doctor makes three small incisions in the abdomen and uses a laparoscope, a thin, lighted instrument. Through a laparoscope, the doctor can see the appendix and remove it. Laparoscopy is a less invasive treatment and heals faster than open surgery.

Laparoscopic appendix surgery is a less invasive surgery that is faster and safer than conventional surgery. In this surgery, the doctor uses a telescope and instruments through a small opening to remove the appendix. This results in less pain and bruising for the patient and a shorter hospital stay.

⦿ Post appendicitis care

After an appendicectomy, a child may need to stay in the hospital for a few days. During this time, the doctor will take care of the child's wound and give him medicines to relieve the pain.

⦿ After appendicectomy, the child should avoid doing the following:

✓ Emphasizing the abdomen

✓ Lifting heavy objects

✓ Running or playing

✓ Children usually recover completely within a few weeks after appendicectomy.

If symptoms of appendicitis appear, consult a doctor immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment of appendicitis reduces the risk of complications.
