What are the pros and cons of appendectomy

Currently, surgical removal is the main treatment for appendicitis and other appendiceal lesions. However, surgical removal of the appendix also has advantages and disadvantages: 1. When inflammatory disease of the appendix occurs, or even purulent infection, or gangrene of the appendiceal tissue, or abscess formation around the appendix, surgical removal of the diseased appendix as soon as possible can fundamentally treat the patient’s condition in a short time and avoid complications such as purulent peritonitis. 2. Disadvantages. The surgical process will produce stimulating effects on various tissues and organs in the abdominal cavity, and different degrees of intestinal adhesions may occur after the operation, leading to chronic pain symptoms in the abdomen or defecation dysfunction in patients. If the appendiceal stump is not firmly ligated during the operation, it may lead to the occurrence of stump fistula.
