Mr. Lu from Xuchang City, Henan Province, reported that in 2019, his 12-year-old son had pain in his right lower abdomen, and the hospital diagnosed acute appendicitis and needed to undergo appendectomy surgery.

The postoperative report showed that the appendix was removed smoothly, but the child often had a faint pain in the abdomen after the operation.

This incident can be caused by a number of reasons

One possibility is that the boy has a double appendix, which is having two appendices, one of which is not inflamed and is not detected at the time of surgery. This condition, while rare, does exist in medicine.

Another possibility is surgical errors, such as incorrect surgical marking, poor communication between the surgical team, or surgical errors.

These failures can be technical or systematic, reflecting the imperfections of the health care system at certain points.

The family questioned the matter

What was cut at that time, the child has been in pain for several years, and it is related to the appendix?

Mr. Lui believed that the hospital was negligent during the operation. They asked the hospital to explain whether the appendix was actually removed during the surgery and whether the child's persistent abdominal pain after the surgery was related to the unremoved appendix.
