Appendix and Hysterectomy: No Direct Relationship

The appendix and uterus are anatomically and functionally unrelated. A hysterectomy does not involve appendix removal unless coincidentally indicated (e.g., appendicitis discovered during surgery, or elective appendectomy during abdominal hysterectomy for other reasons—which is uncommon).

The appendix is a lymphoid organ attached to the cecum; the uterus is a reproductive organ in the pelvis. Their blood supply, innervation, and embryology are distinct.
