Abstract
Complicated Appendicitis is defined as perforated appendicitis with abscess or mass formation. Its diagnosis and management have been controversial with no consensus on its definition and treatment algorithm. The treatment was initially conservative management, but the current trend is immediate appendectomy by the laparoscopic method. Other areas of controversy include the need for interval appendectomy and the role of percutaneous drainage of appendicular abscess.
