Relationship with neighboring organs
The junction of the final section of the small intestine (Latin ileum) is located end-to-side of the appendix. In direct proximity to it is the transition to the appendix.
The most common intra-abdominal disease requiring surgical intervention is appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix). If this disease is not treated, there is a risk of the inflammation breaking through into the peritoneal cavity. This can result in life-threatening inflammation of the peritoneum.
