Now appendectomies can be performed laparoscopically. Open repair is not needed. I have done over a thousand laparoscopically. Most of the patients are discharged the next day.
A general surgeon. Usually if you have acute appendicitis. Sometimes it needs to be removed for a tumor.
A general surgeon or a colorectal surgeon. Either should be very capable of doing a safe procedure for you.
