Various practical considerations regarding appendicular infiltrates

Surgical methods of treatment of the appendicular infiltrate are dependent on the degree of the disease. Conservative treatment should be performed at the stage of a dense infiltrate. The infiltrate stage is treated by appendectomy. In the initial abscess the operation must be associated with adequate drainage of the abdominal cavity. In great abscesses the the surgical procedure is restricted by opening the abscess and drainage of its cavity. The vermiform process must be removed but when it is accessible.
