Laparoscopic Management of Stump Appendicitis

Stump appendicitis is a rare complication reported both after laparoscopic and open appendectomy Diagnosis of the condition is usually delayed because of previous history of appendectomy and adequate clinical vigilance on part of treating surgeon is required. It results from  incomplete appendectomy .

Stump appendicitis is inflammation of residual appendix after appendectomy and has reported incidence of 1 in 50,000  . We report a case of 20 yr old male who underwent open appendectomy 7 yr back now presented with features of abdominal wall abscess . Patient was diagnosed with stump appendicitis and  laparoscopic completion appendectomy was done.
 
Keywords – stump appendicitis , incomplete appendectomy, completion appendectomy
 
Stump appendicitis is inflammation of residual appendix after appendectomy and has reported incidence of 1 in 50,000  . Stump appendicitis is rare and underreported entity , thorough review of English literature revealed 87 cases reported up till now [1]. Stump appendicitis needs to be diagnosed urgently because of increased incidence of complications like perforation, abscess and sepsis associated with the condition.  
 
Surgical treatment as completion appendectomy either open or laparoscopic is treatment of choice , most of the cases reported in literature had been done as open procedure, but as experience with laparoscopy is increasing along with added advantage of thorough inspection of  the peritoneal cavity, We recommend laparoscopic approach with low threshold for conversion.
