Summary
Stump appendicitis is a rare but challenging complication following appendectomy, often presenting non-specifically. Complete appendectomy is the definitive treatment for this condition.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastrointestinal Surgery
- Surgical Complications
Background:
- Stump appendicitis is a rare complication after primary appendectomy.
- It is often overlooked in the differential diagnosis for patients with a history of appendectomy.
- This systematic review focuses on stump appendicitis in pediatric patients.
Conclusions:
- Non-specific symptoms and a history of appendectomy complicate stump appendicitis diagnosis.
- Delayed treatment often leads to complicated stump appendicitis.
- Complete appendectomy is the gold standard for treating stump appendicitis.
