It is not a normal procedure to remove the appendix during a hysterectomy. If the surgeon finds some reason to do so and feels at the time of the surgery he will remove it to prevent further surgery

The most obvious answer is no; millions of people have had their appendix removed without ill effects. Darwin suggested that the appendix is a leftover from when our ancestors used to digest leaves.

Given that it's seems largely useless and a burst appendix used to be a fatal disorder, one might ask why it's survived at all. One theory is that a smaller appendix is more prone to bursting so it's reached a sort of happy medium value.
Why do people get their appendix taken out?
