What is Acute Appendicitis?
Acute appendicitis is a sudden inflammation of the appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine.
It is one of the most common surgical emergencies worldwide and requires immediate medical attention.
If left untreated, appendicitis can lead to:
- Appendix Rupture: Releasing bacteria into the abdominal cavity.
- Peritonitis: A dangerous infection of the abdominal lining.
