The complication of appendiceal duplications includes acute appendicitis, colonic perforation, obstruction, bleeding, pain, failure to thrive, abdominal mass. In the case of abdominal pain with diagnostic uncertainty, with appropriate patient selection (without hemodynamic instability), diagnostic laparoscopy may be offered as an initial intraoperative evaluation, and if the procedure cannot be safely completed laparoscopically, it can be converted to a laparotomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although uncommon, knowledge of appendiceal duplication is of great significance in the surgical patient, as a missed diagnosis or delay in diagnosis in symptomatic patients may result in increased morbidity and possibly mortality secondary to sepsis, with its medico-legal ramifications in today's practice of medicine.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2020.09.043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,14]],"date-time":"2020-09-14T11:32:14Z","timestamp":1600083134000},"page":"219-221","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Incidental finding of double appendix during laparotomy for intussusception"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"Mojirola I.","family":"Olarinoye-Alegbejo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kache","family":"Steve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriel O.","family":"Ologun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-51-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.4236\/ijcm.2012.31013","article-title":"Double appendicitis","volume":"03","author":"Mushtaque","year":"2012","journal-title":"Int.
