The colon is the last part of the digestive system. It extracts water and salt from solid wastes before they are eliminated from the body. The colon consists of four sections: the ascending colon (including the cecum and appendix), the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon. There are countless conditions that affect the colon including obstructive disorders, infectious diseases, and neoplasms (cancers).
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. Appendicitis commonly presents itself with right lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite. The standard treatment for appendicitis is surgical removal of the appendix.
