Overview
Appendicitis was first officially described and coined the term in 1886 by Reginald J. Fitz of Harvard University. Since then, the appendectomy has become one of the most common surgical procedures. The laparoscopic appendectomy was invented in the 1980s, and has led to reduced length of hospital stay, a decreased risk of infection, and a reduction in post-operative pain.
