Abstract:
The records of 63 patients who had appendectomy for chronic lower abdominal pain were reviewed. Histologically 92% of the removed appendices revealed abnormality, and 95% of these patients were completely cured. It is concluded that appendicopathy does exist and could be the cause of chronic lower abdominal pain.
