Is there anything else I need to know about appendicitis testing?Sometimes the tests misdiagnose appendicitis. During surgery, the surgeon may find that your appendix is normal. He or she may remove it anyway to prevent appendicitis in the future. Your surgeon may continue to look in the abdomen to find the cause of your symptoms. He or she may even be able to treat the problem at the same time. But you may need more tests and procedures before a diagnosis can be made.
