An appendectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the appendix, which is a small organ located near the large intestine. Evidence of an appendectomy can be found in the form of a SCAR, the OPERATION itself, shreds of tissue, and any medical records or tapes that may have been used to document the procedure. The term 'ADDUCE' means to present evidence, so it can also be used to refer to the evidence of an appendectomy.
