| - Appendicitis is a condition when the appendix becomes inflamed. It often causes acute abdominal pain, and if left untreated, the appendix may burst and fester, creating inflammations within the abdominal cavity. This complication is also known as peritonitis.
- Appendicitis is where the appendix becomes severely inflamed, forcing the appendix to be removed from the body before it ruptures which can ultimately cause sepsis and eventually death. In the Stargate SG-1 Season 3 finale episode, Nemesis, Dr. Daniel Jackson was left bed-ridden after suffering from appendicitis. This was due to the fact that in real life, the actor who plays him, Michael Shanks came down with appendicitis during Canadian Thanksgiving, forcing the writers to greatly reduce his scenes in "Nemesis" in order to give Shanks enough time to recover.
- Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a small vestigal organ within the digestive tract. Occasionally, the tissues become infected and inflamed, causing mild to severe abdominal pain. If pain increases, it is likely the organ will rupture, resulting in peritonitis. Any pain in the lower right quadrant is an emergency situation. Appendicitis will often give several hours notice before the condition becomes very acute. If the pain is severe, immediate surgery is called for.

Appendicitis will often give several hours notice before the condition becomes very acute. If the pain is severe, immediate surgery is called for. Once the diagnosis of appendicitis is made, the surgeon must decide whether to perform an open (OA) or laparoscopic (LA) appendectomy. Numerous randomized controlled trials have compared these two methods for treat appendicitis, sometimes with conflicting results. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews have combined these studies to address the controversy
