<h3><u>What Is an Appendectomy?</u></h3>

The surgical removal of the appendix is known as an appendectomy. Appendicitis, an inflammation of the appendix, is commonly treated by emergency surgery. Your large intestine is connected to a tiny, tube-shaped pouch called the appendix. It's on the lower right side of your abdomen.

The appendix's specific function is unknown. However, it's thought that it might aid in our recovery from diarrhea, inflammation, and small- and large-intestine infections. Although they may seem like vital activities, the body may nevertheless function normally without an appendix.
