Appendicitis occurs when the lumen of your appendix is blocked. Appendicitis may be caused by various infections such as virus, bacteria, or parasites, in your digestive tract. Or it may even happen when the opening that joins your large intestine and appendix is blocked or trapped by stool. Sometimes tumors can also cause appendicitis by blockage.
The appendix then becomes sore and swollen. The blood supply to the appendix decreases as the swelling and soreness get worse. Without enough blood flow, the appendix starts to die. The appendix can burst or develop holes or tears in its walls, which allows stool, mucus, and infection to leak through and it get inside the belly. This results peritonitis, a serious infection.
The following are common symptoms of appendicitis. Your own symptoms may vary.

The appendix may be removed in an open procedure or using laparoscopy:
Open (traditional) surgery method-
You are given anesthesia. A cut (incision) is made in the lower right-hand side of your belly. The surgeon finds the appendix and takes it out. If the appendix has burst, a small tube (shunt) may be placed to drain out pus and other fluids in the belly. The drain will be taken out in a few days, when your surgeon feels the infection has gone away.
Laparoscopic method-
You are given anesthesia. This surgery uses several small cuts (incisions) and a camera (laparoscope) to look inside your belly. The surgical tools are placed through a few small incisions. The laparoscope is placed through another incision. A laparoscopy can often be done even if the appendix has burst.
If your appendix has not burst then your recovery from an appendectomy will only take a few days. If your appendix has burst, your recovery time will be longer and you will need antibiotic medicine.
You can live a normal life without your appendix. Changes in diet or exercise are usually not needed.
