Laparoscopic Appendix
The Appendix
The appendix produces a bacteria-destroying protein called immunoglobulins, which
help fight infection in the body. Its function, however, is not essential. People
who have had appendectomies (removal of the appendix) do no have an increased risk
toward infection. Other organs in the body take over this function ne the appendix
has been removed.
