India is benefiting in a big way from globalization. It has become the latest hub for medical outsourcing, with patients from all over the world flocking to Indian hospitals for appendectomy. They are the new medical tourists and India is flaunted, as a medical tourism destination India's tourism industry is thriving due to an increase in foreign tourist’s arrivals and greater than before travel by Indians to domestic and abroad destinations. The visitors are pouring to have their appendectomy in India from all over the world: Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia and Australia. At the same time, the number of Indians traveling has also increased. India is probably the only country that offers various categories of tourism. These include history tourism, adventure tourism, medical tourism (ayurveda and other forms of Indian medications), spiritual tourism, beach tourism (India has the longest coastline in the East)
What is an appendectomy?
An appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix, a tube about six inches long or less that branches off the large intestine. The procedure is performed to treat appendicitis, an inflammation of the appendix caused by infection.
Acute appendicitis is the most common condition of the abdomen to require emergency surgery. Because of the likelihood of the appendix rupturing and causing a severe, life-threatening infection, the usual recommendation is that the appendix be removed as soon as possible.
What causes appendicitis?
Appendicitis occurs when the interior of the appendix becomes filled with something that causes it to swell, such as mucus, stool, or parasites. The appendix then becomes irritated and inflamed. Rupture (or perforation) occurs as holes develop in the walls of the appendix, allowing stool, mucus, and other substances to leak through and get inside the abdomen. An infection inside the abdomen known as peritonitis occurs when the appendix perforates.
Because of the risk of rupture, which may occur as soon as 48 to 72 hours after symptoms begin, appendicitis is considered an emergency and anyone with symptoms needs to see a physician immediately.
What are the symptoms of appendicitis?
Appendicitis may cause pain in the abdomen which may be described as follows:
- may start in the area around the belly button, and move over to the lower right-hand side of the abdomen, but may also start in the lower right-hand side of the abdomen
- usually increases in severity as time passes
- may become more severe with moving, taking deep breaths, being touched, and coughing or sneezing
- may spread throughout the abdomen if the appendix ruptures
India has one of the best pools of qualified professionals in every field of health care domain combined with world class Medical Facilities comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art hospitals and the best-qualified doctors for appendectomy. There is no doubt that the Indian medical industry's main appeal is low-cost appendectomy. Most estimates claim appendectomy costs in India start at around a tenth of the price of comparable treatment in America or Britain. Foreign patients can get package deals including flights, transfers, hotels, treatment and post-operative vacation for their medical visits to India. Many foreign patients prefer to combine their leisure and relaxation visits to India with healthcare. Medical tourism companies have tie-ups with the best hospitals of Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore in India to provide world class medical facilities to international patients.
