Reviewing a proposed procedure with your chosen doctor
Appendix Removal (Appendicectomy)
second opinion in Mumbai.
Medical term: Appendicectomy or appendectomy
Already chosen your general surgeon in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed appendix removal (appendicectomy)? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.
You choose the doctor. We take your case to them.
Understand the procedure
What is appendix removal (appendicectomy)?
Appendicectomy removes the appendix, most commonly as treatment for appendicitis. A planned consultation after an earlier episode is different from a current acute illness. Urgent treatment advised by the treating team should not be delayed while arranging a second opinion.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- Why is appendix removal recommended in my current situation?
- Is this a planned operation after earlier treatment, or is treatment needed urgently?
- What findings make a keyhole or open approach more appropriate?
- How do the previous scan or pathology findings affect follow-up?
Your existing case file
Records to organise
We organise the ultrasound or ct reports and available images alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the general surgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- Ultrasound or CT reports and available images
- Previous admission and discharge summaries for appendicitis
- Antibiotic or abscess-drainage records
- Current surgical recommendation and any appendix pathology report
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
