Brief Summary: Complicated appendicitis characterized by the presence of an abscess or perforation involves acute inflammation of the peritoneum secondary to an infection of the appendix presenting additional challenges for management Traditionally the standard treatment for complicated appendicitis has been surgical intervention However conservative management involving antibiotics and drainage has emerged as a viable alternative for selected patients Recent studies emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate antibiotics based on local resistance patterns and the patients clinical condition Broad-spectrum antibiotics including those targeting anaerobic bacteria are often preferred In addition advances in imaging technology such as ultrasound-guided drainage have improved the precision and success rates of percutaneous abscess drainage This minimally invasive approach helps manage localized infections and can prevent the need for immediate surgery

One factor that has gained significant attention in determining the success of conservative treatment for acute complicated appendicitis is the presence of appendicoliths-calcified deposits within the appendix This study aims to investigate the clinical significance of appendicoliths in the conservative management of acute complicated appendicitis with abscesses
