Abstract

Surgical options for appendicitis have increased, just as they have with cholecystitis. The laparoscope can now be utilized in place of the standard open operation for treatment of appendicitis. Like laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy can be associated with increased morbidities, not usually seen with open surgery. We present a case of the unusual complication of recurrent appendicitis in a generous appendiceal remnant after laparoscopic appendectomy.
