The management of appendiceal mass remains a matter of major controversy in the current literature. Currently, initial nonoperative management followed by interval appendectomy is favored over immediate appendicectomy. However, the necessity of doing an interval appendectomy has been questioned - is it a necessary evil? The present review revisits the above controversy, evaluates the current literature, assesses the need for interval appendectomy in adults, and provides recommendations.
阑尾肿块的处理在当前文献中仍是一个备受争议的问题。目前,相较于立即进行阑尾切除术,先采用非手术治疗随后进行间隔期阑尾切除术更受青睐。然而,间隔期阑尾切除术的必要性受到了质疑——它是一种必要的恶行吗?本综述重新审视上述争议,评估当前文献,评估成人进行间隔期阑尾切除术的必要性,并提供建议。
