What is Appendectomy about?
An appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix, primarily performed to treat acute appendicitis and prevent complications like perforation and peritonitis. Pre-operative priorities include rapid assessment, maintaining NPO status, and administering antibiotics, while post-operative care focuses on monitoring for infection, restoring bowel function, and managing pain. The appendix has no vital function in adults, and its removal typically does not cause long-term health issues.
