Abstract

Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency requiring intervention. Stump appendicitis is an acute inflammation of the residual part of the appendix and a rare complication of incomplete appendectomy. This case report describes a patient admitted to the emergency department for abdominal pain with rebound tenderness and an appendectomy scar on lower right quadrant. He was diagnosed with stump appendicitis. Upon laparotomy, an inflamed residual appendix was seen. Appendectomy was performed. We present a case of stump appendicitis 16 years after the primary operation.

Özet

Akut apandisit müdahale gerektiren yaygın bir acil cerrahi patolojidir. Güdük apandisit ise inkomplet appendektomi sonrası rezidüel olarak kalan appendiksin enflamasyonu sonrası ender görülen bir komplikasyondur. Karın ağrısı nedeniyle acil servisimize başvuran hastanın yapılan fizik muayenesinde sağ alt kadranda hassasiyet ve cilt üzerinde 16 yıllık appendektomi emizyon skarı mevcuttu. Yapılan tetkikler sonucunda güdük apandisit ön tanısı ile yapılan laparatomide rezidü ve inflame appandiks dokusu görüldü. Hastaya appendektomi işlemi uygulandı.
