A member asked:
Is it any relation between appendectomy and viral gastroenteritis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Appendectomy refers to surgery to remove appendix. Viral gastroenteritis is code for stomach flu. There's no relationship unless your stomach flu was mistaken for acute appendicitis for which you underwent appendectomy.
