What is Open Appendix Removal Surgery?

Open appendix removal surgery (open appendectomy) is a procedure to remove the appendix through a single incision in the lower right abdomen. It is performed when the appendix is inflamed, infected, or ruptured, and is often recommended in emergency or complex cases where laparoscopic surgery is not feasible. Quick removal prevents complications such as rupture, abscess, or peritonitis.
