What are the omplications of appendix abscess?

Answer 1

Roughly one-fifth of all patients who undergo surgery for appendicitis are found to have a ruptured or perforated appendix. This can cause a condition known as peritonitis, which is an inflammation of the membrane surrounding the internal organs. The membrane is known as the peritoneum. Nowadays, peritonitis can be successfully treated with antibiotics, although there is a still a slight risk that an abscess may form in the abdominal cavity. If this happens, it will have to be carefully drained and the patient will be required to remain in hospital. Some people may develop extra internal scar tissue at the site of the removed appendix. This scar tissue is known as an adhesion. The adhesion may stick on to nearby segments of intestine resulting in obstruction of those segments. Obstructions may release themselves in a short space of time but can persist and result in complete obstruction of the intestine, which is a surgical emergency. Obstruction of the intestine following appendicectomy is not a common complication

Answer 2

Doctor could leave a sponge inside your belly. Appendectomies are a simple surgery with very few things that could go wrong. If you want to think about bad stuff - you could lose too much blood, you could get too much sleeping medicine and go into a coma. It's not worth worrying about it. On the other hand, if your appendix bursts (without an operation) you could die.
