Tomofumi Ando* and Satoshi Aiko

Nonoperative management and interval appendectomy after successful nonoperative treatment has been a standard treatment strategy in complicated appendicitis. However, the risk factors for failure of nonoperative management and those for development of recurrent appendicitis remain unclear. This Review aims to study the current data on the association between complicated appendicitis and appendiceal fecaliths which have already been well studied in uncomplicated appendicitis.
