Appendicitis-surgery: Your question states that your brother has appendicitis, so he has been diagnosed already based on his symptoms, physical examination and lab test results. He should have surgery. Its not clear from your question about the dimensions of his appendix, but that information alone is not enough to diagnose appendicitis.
