An appendectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the appendix, a small, tube-shaped organ attached to the large intestine. This operation is typically performed to treat acute appendicitis, a condition where the appendix becomes inflamed and infected. Appendicitis often presents with severe abdominal pain, fever, and nausea. The surgery can be performed through an open incision or laparoscopically, with the latter being less invasive and resulting in quicker recovery times. Removing the appendix resolves the infection and prevents potential complications such as a ruptured appendix, which can lead to more serious health issues. Appendectomy is one of the most common emergency surgical procedures performed worldwide.
