Earlier it was believed that the appendix is ??a completely useless organ, which brings us, our masters, only trouble. Over time, it became clear that nature has created this body with a very specific function, and it plays an important role in the activity of the body's immune system.

Most people have experienced problems with abnormalities of the appendix, and most often this resulted in surgery. But as it turned out, our health largely depends on this narrow tube of 6 cm in length.

Appendix is ??the main source of beneficial bacteria in the body. It is located near the organs of the digestive system and takes care of its normal functioning. But it happens that as a result of diseases, for example, cholera or dysentery, which kill useful bacteria, the appendix can stop coping with its function, namely, to act as a barrier against various inflammations.

Of course, the intestinal flora can be restored without the appendix, but modern methods still allow for "sparing" operations, purging with laparoscopy and keeping the appendix.

And, nevertheless, the death rate from the inflammation of the appendix is ??very high even in developed countries, and therefore remember that when symptoms of the so-called "acute abdomen" appear, you should immediately call a doctor.
