Abstract
Incidental appendectomy has always been a matter of debate as to whether it should be performed or not. The morbidity and mortality of the procedure is low, and it allows histological examination to detect any abnormal pathology. The introduction of laparoscopic surgery has also made surgeons question if incidental appendectomy should be performed or not. We have conducted this narrative review article to look at the current indications, patients’ demographics, and types of surgery that incidental appendectomy is performed on.
期刊介绍：
The SEAMEO* Regional Tropical Medicine and Public Health Project was established in 1967 to help improve the health and standard of living of the peoples of Southeast Asia by pooling manpower resources of the participating SEAMEO member countries in a cooperative endeavor to develop and upgrade the research and training capabilities of the existing facilities in these countries. By promoting effective regional cooperation among the participating national centers, it is hoped to minimize waste in duplication of programs and activities. In 1992 the Project was renamed the SEAMEO Regional Tropical Medicine and Public Health Network.
