text: An Appendicectomy (or<unk>  is the surgical removal of the vermiform appendix. This procedure is normally performed as an emergency procedure, when the patient is suffering from acute appendicitis. In the absence of surgical facilities, intravenous antibiotics are used to delay or avoid the onset of sepsis; it is now recognised that many cases will resolve when treated non-operatively. In some cases the appendicitis resolves completely; more often, an inflammatory mass forms around the appendix. This is a relative contraindication to surgery.
  Many patients do not seek medical attention early when they have symptoms, this delays the diagnosis of appendicitis,and some cases could be missed. Some surgeons accepts negative<unk> es up to 15 percent of cases, so they intervene aggressively with suspicious cases. The use of imaging studies before going through the surgery reduces the rate of negative<unk>  to less than 10 percent according to some studies.
