Appendicitis could be diagnosed with the help of physical examination and laboratory studies. It occurs when the appendix is blocked due to a foreign body, cancer, or by stool. The prevalence of acute appendicitis is more as compared to chronic appendicitis. Around 8.6% of men and 6.7% of female worldwide are suffering from acute appendicitis. Computed tomography (CT) is frequently used for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, and it gives more accurate results as compared to other diagnostic tests.

To overcome this appendicitis appendectomy is considered as the first line treatment. In developing countries, growth in the appendicitis market is propelled by increasing government investments in healthcare.
