An appendectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the appendix, which is a small organ located in the lower right abdomen. It is typically done in response to appendicitis, which is inflammation of the appendix usually caused by a blockage or infection. During the surgery, the appendix is removed through a small cut in the abdomen. An appendectomy is often necessary to prevent the appendix from bursting, which can lead to serious complications such as infection or the inflammation of the abdominal lining. Also, because the appendix is not essential for normal bodily functions, its removal does not require ongoing medical treatment or lifestyle changes afterwards.
