There are risks with any surgery. If there is no rupture and no infection left behind, you should be fine. If there is a need for an appendectomy and one is not performed and it ruptures, one will most likely die.

Not unless the appendix burst and the posion goes all trough your system..but that is very very rare. I guess also if the surgeon did something wrong, or left something in you that shouldnt have, would make you feel bad..but again very very rare is would cause you to die...I suggest you talk to your dr, to ease your mind ..good luck
