That sounds unusual. The doctor must have considered you extremely unfit for surgery. I suppose that a repair of a ruptured appendix could be accomplished through the inside of the colon (through basically a colonoscopy); however it would be unusual. Peritonitis is serious, though. It is basically the worst that can happen with a ruptured appendix, and it can be fatal.
