A member asked:
Whether biopsy is always done after apendicitis surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please clarify: Sometimes surgeons will biopsy during surgery for appendicitis, if they see something unusual while inside the abdominal cavity. If this does not answer your question, please clarify what organ or tissue was biopsied.
