Acute appendicitis is the most common acute surgical condition of the abdomen. It involves inflammation and infection of the appendix. The appendix arises from the cecum in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. Clinical diagnosis is based on symptoms of shifting abdominal pain, anorexia, vomiting, and localized tenderness in the right lower quadrant. Treatment involves appendectomy to remove the infected appendix.
