In order to remove the appendix, the surgeon would have to make an incision and open the abdominal cavity. The appendix is a small projection of mucosal associated lymphatic tissue descending from the inferior of the cecum of the colon. It is found in the Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ), lower right hand side of the abdominal cavity. The body cavity is called the abdominal cavity and its membranous lining is called the peritoneum.
