Efficacy and safety of the conservative management of appendiceal phlegmon during childhood
Conservative treatment of appendiceal phlegmon is safe and effective. It significantly reduces morbidity, and it is not contraindicated by age, presence of appendicolith, or intra-abdominal collections. However, large collection drainage procedures may be required. We believe interval appendectomy is indicated in a period of 3-6 months.
