Appendix abscess

Introduction Appendicitis abscess is due to acute appendicitis is not diagnosed and treated, so that the appendix is covered by the omentum adhesion into an inflammatory mass, followed by appendix gangrene, perforation, localized peritonitis to form appendix abscess. The common pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. Abscesses can be the result of an acute suppurative infection. Patients with appendicitis abscess should undergo emergency surgery if they have toxic shock, and the infected lesions should be removed as soon as possible. Enhance physical fitness, pay attention to hygiene; pay attention not to suffer from cold and diet; timely treatment of constipation and intestinal parasites.

Cause

Appendicitis abscess is one of the symptoms of infection around the appendix and is the result of necrotic tissue. It is a localized pus accumulation in tissues, organs or body cavities during the acute infection process due to necrosis and liquefaction of the diseased tissue. There is a complete pus wall around it.

Because appendicitis is very common, the symptoms are similar, and relatively rare tumors in this area are easily missed. Appendice abscess Once the anti-inflammatory treatment has not achieved the expected effect for a period of time, it is necessary to be alert to the possibility of the tumor, and further examination is clear.

Differential diagnosis

In the past, appendicitis abscesses advocated non-surgical treatment or abscess drainage. It is considered that appendicitis has been limited, and conservative treatment has fewer complications. After the second stage of appendectomy, surgical treatment can spread inflammation and complications, but does not advocate primary surgery. However, although the appendix abscess may be absorbed in conservative treatment, the course of disease is long and easy to recur. In conservative treatment, abscess ulceration is caused by total peritonitis, abdominal abscess and toxemia. And after the conservative treatment of abscess, the recurrence rate is higher because the adhesion around it and the compression of the fiber band will affect the peristalsis and emptying of the appendix.
