What is the Purpose of Sending Appendix to Lab After Appendectomy?

why is my appendix sent to lab after appendectomy? Is it done for every patient as standard? Or did they find anything unusual during surgery?

Answered on 23rd May '24

The purpose of sending the appendix to the lab after an appendectomy is to perform histopathological examination. This examination allows pathologists to analyze the tissue for any signs of inflammation, infection, or other abnormalities. It is a basic step to make sure that patient's overall health is fine and nothing else that requires further treatment. Patients should talk to their surgeon or doctor for any doubts or questions regarding their medical procedure.

Prolonged fever, especially if it's around 102 to 104, is a signal to see a doctor. Situations of back pain can be generated by different conditions. Once in a while, there may be a reason that is not visible and requires more investigation. Get in touch with your doctor for a complete evaluation of your condition.

I am 20 yrs old I have eat yesterday pink cotton candy and my pee came in pink colour can uh suggest me what is the reason?

Female | 20

If you consumed pink cotton candy and your urine turned pink, it is likely that the food coloring is responsible for the color change. Many artificially colored foods, including cotton candy, can cause temporary changes in urine color. This effect is harmless and usually resolves once the food has been processed by your body.

It looks like you have a nasal fracture or a deviated septum. I suggest that you see an ENT specialist for a complete evaluation. They can assess the degree of the injury and administer the right treatment. It is vital that we do not ignore any nose injury as it may result in long term complications if left untreated.

I'm little concerned about exposure to pure toluene. I think I accidentally inhaled toluene vapours while working with it on solvents. Although nothing seems to be affected, but what precautionary measure should I take now? I don't huff toluene or inhale intentionally for addiction. But, I work with toluene as an artist to restore damaged brushes or wipe of paints

Male | 31

Toluene exposure can cause dizziness, headaches, and lightheadedness. Move to a well-ventilated area when using it and wear a protective mask. If you feel unwell, go outside for fresh air immediately.
