Stump appendicitis following laparoscopic appendectomy

الملخص EN

Stump appendicitis (SA) is a rare clinicopathologic entity characterised by inflammation of the appendiceal remnant after incomplete appendectomy.

The diagnosis is not routinely suspected in patients who have previously undergone appendectomy.

We report a case of SA in an adolescent boy who had previously undergone laparoscopic appendectomy.

The case necessitated surgical completion of the appendectomy.
