What happens if appendix bursts?

A ruptured appendix causes peritonitis — life-threatening infection spreading through the abdomen. It dramatically increases surgery risk and recovery time. This is why early surgery is critical at the first sign of appendicitis.

What is Appendicitis?

The appendix is a small finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine. Appendicitis occurs when it becomes blocked, swollen and infected. It is one of the most common surgical emergencies — affecting people of all ages, most commonly between 10 and 30 years. Without prompt surgery, the appendix can rupture — causing life-threatening peritonitis.
