Surgical procedure for appendicitis in women

The surgical procedure for the female appendix is the same as that for the male appendix and is divided into open appendectomy and minimally invasive appendectomy. The procedure of open appendectomy is to make a Mai’s incision in the right lower abdomen, i.e., in the middle and outer 1/3 of the line between the umbilicus and the anterior superior iliac spine, the length of which is about 3cm, cut the skin first, and then enter into the abdomen one by one to find the appendix, then lift up the appendix, firstly, deal with the appendiceal mesentery, and then ligature appendiceal mesentery cut off. Then ligate the appendix at the root of the appendix 0.5cm to cut off the appendix, the stump to the purse-string suture embedded in a circle, tie the knot, and then finally suture the skin incision can be. In case of minimally invasive appendectomy, that is, laparoscopic appendectomy, a hole is made in the umbilicus first, and then a pneumoperitoneum is established. The subsequent surgical method is similar to that of open appendectomy, and after the appendix is removed from the abdominal cavity, and the puncture hole in the abdomen is sutured.
