Abstract

The diagnosis and management of complicated appendicitis is not uniform due to the absence of any consensus. The diagnosis involves the combination of clinical examination, blood parameters, and imaging modalities like ultrasound and computerized tomography. The management can be divided into conservative treatment and immediate appendectomy. The presence of appendicolith is an indicator of recurrent attacks and hence the need for performing an interval appendectomy. In this review article, we will look at the current diagnosis and management of complicated appendicitis, including the role of conservative treatment and also laparoscopic and interval appendectomy.
