Given the appendix's propensity to cause death by infection, and general good health of people who have had their appendix removed or who have a congenital absence of an appendix, the appendix is traditionally thought to have no function in the human body. There have been no reports of impaired immune or gastrointestinal function in people without an appendix.

In Recent Researches I read that they found some role for appendix which helping repopulate the normal flora of the gut after a bout of diarrhea. I don't have the link now, but google it....
