Why are your appendix removed from the left side if the appendix is on the right?
The appendix is typically removed from the right side of the abdomen, not the left. However, if a surgeon or patient is facing the opposite direction, it might appear that the procedure is happening on the left side. The removal is usually done through a small incision in the right lower quadrant, where the appendix is located. This approach allows for direct access to the appendix for a safe and efficient appendectomy.
