i'm not exactly sure what you're asking but i'll answer as best i can. appendicitis means "inflammation of the appendix. " the appendix is a small pouch of tissue located where the small intestine meets the large intestine. nobody really knows what the appendix is for if anything. it is possible to live a perfectly healthy life after having it removed. when a person gets appendicitis the usual treatment is to remove the appendix. however there is no "splitting" of the appendix so i'm not sure what you mean by this terminology. an appendectomy (removal of the appendix) is a very straightforward operation. these days it often is done laparascopically which involves making several small incisions in the abdomen and inserting thin flexible instruments inside the body. in an appendectomy the entire appendix is removed. to answer your question about sutures. most often sutures used inside the body are dissolvable. these sutures will break down and be absorbed by the body within about 8-12 weeks. most surgeries involve several layers of sutures. there are sutures inside the body cavity sutures that bring the muscles back together sutures that hold the gristly tissue layer (the "fascia") together and then sutures that hold the skin together. sometimes there are no sutures used on the top skin layer; your incision might be closed with glue or steri-strips. so if you're asking what kinds of sutures were used in your appendectomy the answer is probably dissolvable sutures. if you have sutures in the skin that need to come out then obviously those are not dissolvable. i hope i managed to answer your question!
are dissovable threads used during the stitching of having appendicitis to split the appendix?
