An appendectomy is a surgical procedure in which the appendix is removed. The appendix is a small, tube-like structure attached to the large intestine. This surgery is typically performed as an emergency procedure to treat appendicitis, which is an inflammation of the appendix. If left untreated, an inflamed appendix can burst, causing serious complications. The surgery can be done through a traditional open surgery or a minimally invasive laparoscopic approach.
