Afterward, one can see the surgical device staple, cut and remove the inflamed appendix.

  • I got this I've been vomiting side pains every time I touch it it hurts but not gonna tell my parents ..

  • @thevodkaftw Appendicitis is very painful and could kill you if your appendix ruptures. PLEASE TELL YOUR PARENTS RIGHT AWAY!

  • my girlfriend is going to go get this done tommorrow, as a preventatice measure (it had already burst but was cured with anti-biotics). Glad this video was on here. I wasn't able to really watch the live surgery.

  • @spiderweb20 Thanks for your comments!  Hope your girlfriend is feeling better - a ruptured appendix is a painful and dangerous condition!
