Understanding Appendicitis — When Surgery is Needed
The appendix is a small, finger-like pouch attached to the large intestine. When it becomes inflamed or infected (appendicitis), surgical removal (appendectomy) is typically the only effective treatment. Early diagnosis and prompt surgery prevent serious complications like appendix rupture and peritonitis.
