Enterocutaneous Fistula Secondary to Stump Appendicitis

Abstract EN

The management of appendicitis with appendicectomy is very common in surgical practice.

A recognised complication of appendicitis and appendicectomy is the formation of an enterocutaneous fistula.

We present the case of a seventy-five-year-old woman who presented with an appendicocutaneous fistula on the background of an open appendicectomy performed sixty years prior to presentation.
