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.
