The X Factor judge, 39, was taken in after suffering crippling stomach pains at the weekend.
Doctors diagnosed her with an acute appendicitis and rushed her in for emergency surgery.
She had spent this week under 24-hour care but is now convalescing at home after being discharged yesterday.
A source said: "Dannii had an onset of extreme pain at weekend and was rushed to hospital.
"The doctors managed a quick diagnosis so it was decided she should have her appendix taken out there and then.
"They managed to operate on her very soon after she arrived so she was out of the woods quickly.
"But obviously it was a huge shock to her system and she spent several days recovering.
"She has now been discharged from hospital and is at home resting.
"Obviously it has been tough as she has baby Ethan to care for her. Kris (Smith, her partner) has been holding the fort."
A spokesman for the star said: "Dannii was taken into hospital on Saturday with pains in her stomach.
"She was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and had an emergency operation to remove her appendix. She is now convalescing."
The star, who splits her time between her home city of Melbourne in Australia and London, is hoping to return full time this year after having to sit out of the auditions last year whilst heavily pregnant.
A number of replacements have been suggested. Mel B has apparently revealed that she could be replacing Cheryl Cole, who's also set to transfer to the U.S. version along with Simon Cowell, while Ozzy Osbourne is in talks to have a role on the show.
