After the traditional appendectomy

Appendectomy is a very common operation, and some friends around you may have had their appendix removed. So is it because the appendix has no effect on the human body, so the appendix is so mature and so common? So is the appendix really dispensable in the human body? Let Bian Xiao explain it to you. ?

First of all, if you want to understand the surgical principle of appendectomy, you must first understand what the appendix is. The scientific name of appendix is also called earthworm process. The appendix is located at the end of the cecum and bulges like a small earthworm at the end of the cecum, so many people call it a small earthworm. Put your hands on the lower left of your abdomen. This is where our appendix is. That's why when we check in the hospital, the nurse always tests whether we have appendicitis according to our part. ?

According to the research of clinical medicine, the appendix is actually an immune organ of our human body, which is rich in lymphoid tissue, so the appendix belongs to beneficial cell tissue for our human body. But with the growth of age, people's resistance will gradually strengthen. In adulthood, the appendix is insignificant for our immunity, so the immune protection of the appendix in adulthood can be said to be very small.

But for normal people, no matter how small the appendix is, it is not easy to cut off their own appendix. No one will do such an operation for no reason unless the appendix is sick. In fact, there are very few people suffering from appendicitis in the crowd, but if the appendix is inflamed, it can be removed because the diseased appendix is useless to people. Many people will worry about the pain of appendectomy, so I'd better not cut it. Actually, that's not what I said. If it is a beneficial organ in your body in good times, it is very unwise to keep it when you are sick. If the appendix is not cut in time, there will be gastrointestinal necrosis and organ necrosis caused by appendicitis in the later stage.
