Best Answer

Potential dangers after an appendectomy include, but are not limited to, infection, adhesions in the repaired bowel (these adhesions are common in bowel surgery), and in extreme cases death. Some symptoms that might occur are worsening pain, fever, redness, swelling, or warmth at the incision sight, and drainage from the incision. Contact your doctor right away if you experience any of these symptoms.

What could lead to appendectomy?

If you have an inflamed/infected appendix then your Doctor may admit you to hospital for an "appendectomy". An appendectomy is an operation to remove the appendix. However, in my youth, before medical services were more or less available globally, if you got a job working in remote areas, your employer often asked you to have an appendectomy so that you could not develop appendicitis (an inflamed/infected appendix) in the field and require emergency repatriation for treatment.


What can happen if you don't get an appendectomy?
