Right ilio-psoas abscess was diagnosed in an immunecompetent patient and treated by ultrasound guided percutaneous drainage twice without identifying the cause of the abscess. The patient did not improve until diagnostic laparoscopy was performed revealing a long stump appendicitis to be the origin of infection. It was treated by completion appendectomy. Surgical exploration may be necessary in persistent or recurrent ilio-psoas abscesses. We identified 4 reported cases of post-appendectomy ilio-psoas abscess but without recognizing the cause of the abscess and its relation to appendectomy. This is the first reported case of ilio-psoas abscess that developed as a complication of stump appendicitis.展开更多

Paying attention to the possibility of stump appendicitis in patients with right lower abdominal pain after appendectomy can prevent the delay of diagnosis and treatment. In patients with stump appendicitis, CT scan not only assists in making an accurate preoperative diagnosis but also excludes other etiologies. We report a 47-year old man with preoperatively diagnosed stump appendicitis by CT, who underwent an open appendectomy 20 years ago.展开更多

METHODS: A meta-analysis was conducted on randomised controlled trials comparing the two stump closure methods in open appendicectomy. Databases searched were Pub Med, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases. Included were those studies focusing on inflamed and suppurative appendicitis while perforated and gangrenous appendix was excluded. We also excluded retrospective case-control studies, commentaries, historical technical articles, or trials involving laparoscopic appendicectomies. The outcome of the meta-analysis was to find eventual differences in theincidence of postoperative ileus and wound infections between the two techniques of stump invagination. RESULTS: Seven studies were included corresponding to 1468 patients. Postoperative complications consisted in wound infections(7%), ileus(4%), pyrexia(2%), vomiting(1%), obstructions from adhesions(0.1%). No cases of peritonitis, fecal fistulas(stump leaks), abdominal abscesses or wound dehiscences were reported. Postoperative ileus within the first 72 h was four times more frequent with stump invagination compared to simple ligation(OR: 4.06; 95%CI: 2.14-7.70; P < 0.0001). No significant differences were noted for wound infections(OR: 1.24; 95%CI: 0.83-1.87; P = 0.30) while for the remaining complications the incidence was extremely low in both groups. There was a high homogeneity on results(Q value for heterogeneity of postoperative ileus P = 0.17; Q value for heterogeneity of wound infections P = 0.98). CONCLUSION: Stump invagination does not seem to prevent infective complications but is associated with an increased risk of postoperative ileus in uncomplicated cases. Appropriate studies on complicated appendicitis should now evaluate the influence of the two techniques in this higher-risk subgroup.展开更多
