What to Expect
Timeline: 1–3 weeks (including recovery)
Appendicitis treatment is typically an emergency. It starts with an urgent GP or ER assessment, blood tests to check white blood cell count and inflammation markers, and a CT scan to confirm the diagnosis. Once confirmed, a laparoscopic appendectomy is performed under general anaesthesia, usually within hours. Hospital stay is typically 1–2 days. Full recovery takes 1–3 weeks.
