Appendix is a vestigial organ; what we have studied
during our undergraduate days. In a lighter vein it is told that the most
common indication for appendicectomy is the presence of appendix!! (surgical
friends, please excuse me!!).
But now the researches say that “it acts as a safe house for good bacteria, which can
be used to effectively reboot the gut following a bout of dysentery or
cholera”.
