Introduction
Appendectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the appendix, most commonly performed to treat acute appendicitis—a sudden inflammation that can rapidly progress to perforation and serious infection if not treated promptly.
Symptoms often include right lower abdominal pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, requiring urgent medical evaluation.
Appendectomy is a definitive, curative treatment that prevents life-threatening complications and allows a rapid return to normal health.
