A member asked:
How often can people die of appendicitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
These days: Assuming that they receive proper medical and surgical care, very rarely. But if it is neglected or if it is allowed to proceed to perforation or generalized peritonitis, it still has a finite mortality. Historically, before appendectomy became standard, it was a common cause of death in otherwise young and healthy persons.
