Appendicectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the appendix from the abdomen. It can be performed either with a small incision on the abdomen or laparoscopically (key hole surgery). Below is a graphical representation of the Appendix. Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency with a lifetime incidence of 6%. Treatment of acute appendicitis is appendicectomy. Other reasons for appendicectomy are suspicion of acute appendicitis, appendix mass and tumour of the appendix.
The appendix is a small, finger shaped pouch of intestine that extends from the caecum, which is the first part of the large intestine. It is found in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. The purpose of the appendix is unknown, however it is not believed to have any significant function.
When the appendix becomes inflamed, it is painful and if it ruptures (perforated appendix), it can leak infected fluid into the abdomen which causes peritonitis, which can be fatal.
