Have you got a reasonably sharp penknife, some thread and a needle? Oh and a stapler, a heavy duty staple is recommended.

if the answer is yes you could try removing your own appendix, I would advise you having some towels or cloths to hand to mop up any of the old red stuff

The incision is made over McBurney's point, one third of the way from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the umbilicus; this represents the position of the base of the appendix (the position of the tip is variable).
The various layers of the abdominal wall are then opened.
The effort is always to preserve the integrity of abdominal wall. Therefore, the External Oblique Aponeurosis is slitted along its fiber, and the internal oblique muscle is split along its length, not cut. As the two run at right angles to each other, this prevents later Incisional hernia.
On entering the peritoneum, the appendix is identified, mobilized and then ligated and divided at its base.
Some surgeons choose to bury the stump of the appendix by inverting it so it points into the caecum.
Each layer of the abdominal wall is then closed in turn.
The skin may be closed with staples or stitches.
The wound is dressed.

Happy hunting, try and leave all the other stuff in there alone.
