Acute pain may be related to distention of intestinal tissue by inflammation and presence of surgical incision.
Appendectomy is the removal of the inflamed appendix. In an open, conventional, and uncomplicated appendectomy, the surgeon removes the appendix through an incision approximately 3 inches long in the right lower quadrant. The incision is larger if the appendix is in a typical position or if peritonitis is present.
