Do you need to take off your pants for an appendectomy surgery?

For appendicitis surgery, patients generally need to remove their pants. The surgical site is located in the lower right abdomen, near the groin area. Since this region is susceptible to pressure from the waistband, it is necessary to take off the pants during surgery to keep the lower body exposed. This not only helps promote wound healing but also ensures an unobstructed field around the surgical site, providing better visibility during the procedure.
