Appendix: Given that you had a test to identify this meant that you must have had symptoms. Discuss with your physician if he/she thinks that the above findings correlate with your symptoms. Sometimes they may recommend further evaluation and management with a laparoscopy.

See surgeon: If you are having symptoms, such as right lower quadrant abdominal pain, and you have appendiceal pathology found on an advanced imaging study, such as a ct scan, you should probably go ahead and have your appendix removed, most likely laparoscopically. Speak with a general surgeon.
