What can happen if you don't get an appendectomy?
If you need an appendectomy but keep postponing having your appendix removed, your appendix could rupture, and if you don't find a surgeon and a doctor in a hurry, a ruptured appendix, which causes peritonitis, could be fatal.

Had bust appendix no surgery was treated with anti biotics for peritonitis?
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.
By what criterion is appendectomy considered essential surgery?
If left untreated, appendicitis may result in a ruptured appendix, which is a life-threatening condition
Can a ruptured appendix recur?
Possible but not probable. Ruptured appendix is almost fatal if untreated as intestinal contents seep out in to abdominal cavity causing serious infection called peritonitis and a surgery is needed to drain it and at the time of surgery appendix is removed. It is possible that there is a small "microperforation" that seals off by itself and later on the same appendix can get reinfected and rupture.
