Abstract

This is a painful swelling of the appendix of the cecum; a finger-like sac that connects to the large intestine, on the right side lower abdomen complications and, in most cases, peritonitis can be treated by prompt removal of the appendix and cleaning inside the abdomen to prevent inflammation.
