L'appendicectomia è l'asportazione chirurgica dell'appendice, praticata principalmente in presenza di appendicite acuta, cronica o cronicizzata (ma anche in caso di tumore), in anestesia totale o, in casi del tutto eccezionali, in anestesia locale per infiltrazione. Da alcuni anni ormai, è stata introdotta anche la video-laparo-appendicectomia che consiste nell'asportazione dell'appendice ciecale mediante tecnica video-laparoscopica.
