Abstract
During a 10-yr period 193 patients with an appendiceal mass and subsequently proved postinflammatory changes of the appendix were treated conservatively. The course was uneventful in 88%. Twelve percent underwent delayed surgical intervention caused by complications with 1 death. Elective appendectomy was performed after 3 mo. with a complication rate of 3.4%. In comparison with series with early operations, the conservative management seems to carry a lower morbidity. The value of elective appendectomy is discussed.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
