Incidental appendectomy has always been a matter of debate as to whether it should be performed or not. The morbidity and mortality of the procedure is low, and it allows histological examination to detect any abnormal pathology. The introduction of laparoscopic surgery has also made surgeons question if incidental appendectomy should be performed or not. We have conducted this narrative review article to look at the current indications, patients’ demographics, and types of surgery that incidental appendectomy is performed on.
