Hospital assessment of suspected appendicitis and discussion of suitable treatment or surgery.

Service information for Dr Kittipob Kirdpun · MD, FRCSTUpdated 23 October 2026

When to seek a consultation

Persistent abdominal pain, especially in the lower right abdomen, with fever, nausea or worsening symptoms needs hospital assessment. Do not wait for a chat reply.

Assessment and options

Examination, blood tests and imaging may guide treatment. Laparoscopic or open appendectomy, or another approach, depends on severity and the individual patient.

What to bring

Tell the team when pain began, your medical conditions, medicines, allergies and any possibility of pregnancy. Bring insurance or healthcare entitlement details.

Risks and symptoms that should not wait

Abdominal pain has many causes; chat cannot confirm appendicitis. Surgery carries bleeding, infection and other risks. Severe pain or deterioration requires emergency care.

General information to support a consultation, not an individual diagnosis. Treatment outcomes vary.

Before your appointment

Can I use health insurance?

Some investigations and treatments may be covered, depending on your policy, insurer approval and the hospital providing care. A condition’s name alone cannot confirm coverage.

Ask the hospital to check your insurance card, policy number and previous reports, including benefits, limits, waiting periods, exclusions and any pre-authorization required before a procedure.

Screening without symptoms may have different terms from tests to investigate symptoms. Confirm direct billing or reimbursement with the hospital. Kittipob Care membership excludes treatment fees and does not guarantee an insurance claim.

How do costs and insurance work?

Request an estimate from the hospital once the care plan is known. Ask about relevant consultation, procedure, sedation, pathology, room and physician fees. Pre-claim approval and coverage are confirmed by your insurer; reimbursement is not guaranteed.

How is an appointment confirmed?

The date, time, facility and service must be confirmed by the hospital or coordination service. Viewing this page does not create a confirmed booking.
