More cuts may be made so that other tools can be used during surgery.
Carbon dioxide gas will be used to swell up your abdomen so that your appendix and other organs can be easily seen.
The laparoscope will be put in and your appendix will be found.
Your appendix will be tied off with stitches and removed through an incision.
When the surgery is done, the laparoscope and tools will be removed.
The carbon dioxide will be let out through the cuts.
A small tube may be placed in the cut to drain out fluids.
