Appendectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine. It is most commonly recommended for patients diagnosed with appendicitis, a condition in which the appendix becomes inflamed and infected. Prompt treatment is essential, as untreated appendicitis can lead to appendix rupture, infection spread, and other serious health complications.
