I didnt know this before.May be because Appendicitis is veyr painful problem....once a person get it , he is no loger able to work properly,n if it get complicated or gangrenous , it can bring much complications after rupturing like peritonitis, shock n death. and as its rudimentary organ so there is no harm in getting it out....so i think appendisectomy is a prophylactic measure for astronauts.

From what I understand, its actually not always done. It has been considered as a preemptive measure for going into orbit, but never mandated.

well if you get appendicitis, it comes on randomly and is very painful and can kill you unless you have your appendix removied. in space i guess they cant do that.
