For both types, the finest treatment to the disease is complete appendix removal through surgery called appendectomy. [myhealthyfeeling.com]

The prognosis is good in cases of integrity of the appendix. [scielo.br]

Its resection, regardless of whether or not there is an inflammation after surgery, increases the risk of Crohn's Disease and worsens the prognosis of this pathology, so appendectomy should be avoided in the absence of appendicitis. [jcol.elsevier.es]
