Abstract
Complicated appendicitis in children is a challenging condition to treat and the treatment options that are available include conservative treatment followed by interval appendectomy and immediate appendectomy. Both these treatment options are effective but as there is no consensus on the management of complicated appendicitis, the treatment option is often decided by the treating surgeon. We have conducted this review article to look at the treatment options that are available, from conservative treatment to immediate appendectomy. We have also looked at the role of percutaneous drainage of appendicular abscess and the role of interval appendectomy.
