The appendix is not an evolutionary residue that may increase the risk of multiple diseases after removal

At present, laparoscopic appendectomy is still the preferred treatment for acute appendicitis.
, however, the appendix is a functional organ, excision or not is still a great controversy, need to be viewed scientifically, not "everything."
Recently, Professor Liu Bingmel, Dean of the Digestive Hospital of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, and his team member, Master Song Mingyang, published a review of the study in the international journal Expert Review of Gastroenterology and Hepatology under the title "Long-Term Effects of Appendectomy on the Human Body".
details the intrinsic association and evolution of appendectomy and colorectal cancer, cardiovascular disease, gallstones, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease and other diseases, opening a skylight for a re-examination of the appendix.
study shows that most studies now believe that appendectomy is associated with the occurrence of tumors in the human body, including colorectal cancer, as well as esophageal cancer, stomach cancer and lymphoma.
a large cohort study of 75,979 cases of appendectomy and 303,640 cases of unoperative appendectomy found that the overall incidence of colorectal cancer was 14% higher in people with appendectomy than in the control group, and that the risk was higher 1.5 to 3.5 years after appendectomy.
Liu Bingmel believes that in clinical cases of acute appendicitis with a higher risk of colorectal cancer (e.g. low fibrous food intake, family history, etc.), appendectomy should be carefully chosen as the preferred treatment.
a five-year follow-up study of 4,916 appendectomy patients and 4,916 patients without an appendectomy found that patients with an appendectomy were 1.79 times more likely to develop gallstones than those without an appendectomy, especially in women.
Liu Bingxuan pointed out that for patients with acute appendicitis with a higher risk of gallstone disease (e.g. family history, high-calorie diet, high-dose estrogen therapy, obesity, etc.), appendectomy should be carefully chosen as the preferred treatment option.
, all human organs are the result of thousands of years of evolution, the existence of any organ has its natural rationality.
some organs are considered useless because people's perceptions are superficial.
just as people didn't know the importance of the lymphatic system a long time ago, humans don't know enough about the human body.
" now more and more experts and scholars gradually realize that the appendix is not useless evolutionary remains, not redundant organs, should not be left out and arbitrarily abandoned.
