> We thought the appendix was useless turns out it has many uses. Can you elaborate? I recently learned that current appendectomy procedure (at least in Europe) calls for the removal of the appendix even if a surgery should reveal that the organ is in fact completely healthy – because the procedure from that point is considered so unrisky, and the organ considered so useless, that the potential future risk of a medical professional misinterpreting the existence of an operational scar as an indicator of a previously performed appendectomy is deemed more problematic.
