History of Scientific Illustration
An appendectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the appendix, a small tube attached to the large intestine. This operation is often performed when the appendix becomes inflamed or infected, leading to a condition known as appendicitis. The rise of this surgical practice reflects the increasing need for specialized medical interventions and the corresponding demand for accurate scientific illustrations to communicate complex anatomical and procedural details effectively.
