A member asked:
Can appendix removal cause complications for a woman to become pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and yes: No uncomplicated appendicitis and appendectomy regardless if it is done open or laparoscopic will not effect the woman ability to have a children. But ruptured appendix with peritonitis can cause enough adhesions inside the pelvis that could very rarely affect the women ability to have children .
