No: This is a unnecessary body part and some states require its removal if you have an abdominal operation for other reasons.

Answer 4

No.: Appendectomy is one of the most common operations performed due to the high incidence of acute appendicitis. We believe that the appendix has a minor role in immune function, most likely in infancy. The long-term consequences of appendectomy are related to scar tissue that may have arisen from the appendicitis and/or surgery, which can rarely cause bowel obstructions or infertility.

Answer 5

Unknown.: It is uncertain if the appendix plays a minor role in immune function in infancy. What is certain is that it can be removed safely with no obvious long-term side effects and clearly has no major physiologic role in adult life.

Answer 6

Lymphoud organ: lymphoid organ and help fight off infection

Answer 7

Yes.: The appendix serves no function that we are aware of, therefore, people do very well without one. If caught early and removed prior to rupture, appendectomy is a low-risk procedure, with low complication rates comparable to any abdominal surgery. If the appendix has ruptured, there is a risk of developing a delayed infection weeks after surgery.
