The duration of symptoms ranged from 1 day to 7 months. As many as 31 (64.5%) cases had inflamed stump appendix whereas 17 (33.5%) had perforation. Twenty-one (43.7%) had undergone laparoscopic primary appendectomy and 27 (56.3%) had undergone open appendectomy. Management of the retained stump included stump appendectomy in 42 (87.5%), right hemicolectomy in 2 (4.2%) and conservative in 4 (8.3%) cases. In the 44 cases managed by surgical intervention, the approach was open in 27 (61.4%) and laparoscopic in 17 (38.6%) cases. The length of the retained appendix stump ranged from 0.5 cm to 6.5 cm (mean 2.14 cm). &lt;\/br&gt;&lt;\/br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/b&gt; Stump appendicitis is an entity that a physician needs to suspect if a patient reports with features of appendicitis even after appendectomy had been conducted. Management is generally surgical and aimed at removal of the retained appendiceal stump.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0015.4553","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,25]],"date-time":"2022-01-25T11:30:19Z","timestamp":1643110219000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Stump appendicitis \u2013 a systematic analysis"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"94","author":[{"given":"Sajad Ahmad","family":"Salati","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, College of Medicine, Qassim University, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3689","reference":[{"key":"223517r1","unstructured":"Geraci G., Lena A., D\u2019Orazio B., Cudia B., Rizzuto S., Modica G.: A rare clinical entity: stump appendicitis.
