Dimitrios Moris*

Appendicitis is a common medical condition that refers to the inflammation of the appendix, a small organ attached to the large intestine. The appendix is located in the lower right side of the abdomen, and its function in the human body is still unclear. Although the appendix is not essential, it can cause severe health problems when infected or inflamed. Appendicitis is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment, as it can lead to complications such as abscesses, perforation, and sepsis. This article will provide an in-depth overview of appendicitis, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.
