Laparoscopic Appendectomy Scar: Why is it on the Left Side?

The appendix is normally located in the lower right side of the abdomen, and most doctors are right-handed, making Laparoscopic techniques on the left-side are much harder on surgeons and they must switch hands. Most right-handed doctors choose their right hand dominant (making your left side of the scar bigger), while some doctors may prefer being left-hand dominant in which case the opposite would normally apply (dominant or bigger scar left).
