Appendix is a small tubular structure connected to the first part of the large intestine called as the cecum. Removal of an appendix does not lead to any major side effects. Acute inflammation of the appendix usually presents with loss of appetite, pain in right lower abdomen, fever, vomiting, sometimes inability to pass gas and distension of abdomen. Acute appendicitis is almost always a surgical emergency and if left untreated it may develop into an abscess. In severe cases appendix may perforate and may lead to infection all over the abdomen – peritonitis.

4. Why does appendicitis occur • Appendicitis usually results from blockage of appendix due to stools, foreign body or cancer. It can also occur in response to any other infection in the body as well. • Diagnosis of appendicitis is usually made on clinical basis by history and examination. Routine blood work including a CBC is performed. Ultrasound of the abdomen usually nails the diagnosis. CT scan of the abdomen may rarely be needed. Sometimes a tumour of the appendix may also present as appendicitis. • Treatment • Laparoscopic appendicectomy is the standard treatment for acute appendicitis.
