Question

appendectomy Appendectomy is an emergency procedure, since appendicitis can be fatal if its symptoms are ignored. ˌæpɪnˈdɛktəmi

Accepted Answer

Surgical removal of the human appendix. The appendix is a tiny tube attached to the large intestine that no longer has any real function. Appendicitis—inflammation and swelling of the appendix, usually as a result of bacterial infection—generally occurs between the ages of 10 and 19, and is the most common reason for emergency surgery in the U.S. today. Since the appendix has so little to do, appendectomies normally have no negative aftereffects at all. If appendicitis is ignored, bacteria may enter the blood and infect other parts of the body
