The appendectomy operation is the treatment of choice for appendicitis.

William L. Ryan has written: 'Appendicitis' -- subject(s): Appendicitis, Appendectomy
The medical term for treatment for inflammation of the appendix is an appendectomy, which is the surgical removal of the appendix. This procedure is typically performed to prevent the appendix from rupturing and causing a potentially life-threatening infection called appendicitis.
The suffix "itis" means inflammation. The root word "append" stands for the appendix. Therefore, appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, which is located in the lower right side of the abdomen (right lower quadrant). If appendicitis is confirmed by a physician, it must be removed surgically as soon as possible.
If left untreated, appendicitis may result in a ruptured appendix, which is a life-threatening condition
If you have an inflamed/infected appendix then your Doctor may admit you to hospital for an "appendectomy". An appendectomy is an operation to remove the appendix. However, in my youth, before medical services were more or less available globally, if you got a job working in remote areas, your employer often asked you to have an appendectomy so that you could not develop appendicitis (an inflamed/infected appendix) in the field and require emergency repatriation for treatment.
The root word Append means the appendix, the suffix ectomy meaning the surgical removal of, always refers to the body part it precedes. Therefore appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix.
Appendectomy is very simple surgery. It is like eating the cake, for the good surgeon. Not doing the same may lead to fatal out come.
The treatment of acute appendicitis is appendectomy. It is rarely possible in rural set up with poor population. So many times you have to go for conservative management. You have to give pain killers, I. V. antibiotics, anti-anaerobics like I. V. metronidazole and I.V. fluids. The condition usually get resolved within few days. You have to go for planned appendectomy in such case, after three to six weeks.
what is appedicitus? Appendicitis is inflammation of the Appendix which is treated by antibiotics and Surgery. Any surgery has risks but the death rate from Appendectomy is very low about 0.3 per cent. It can be slightly higher in the elderly and Surgery for Appendicitis is a relatively safe procedure
Yes, of course you can have a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and appendicitis. They are from different body systems. The UTI is fixed with antibiotics and appendicitis is ONLY fixed with surgery. If you had appendicitis you would get sicker every day with more pain and fever. You would know if you had appendicitis, it DOESN:T go away!
