Abstract
The study aims to present a refute for the use of histopathologic diagnostic nomenclature of the word “Healed” in the perspective of the appendix after appendectomy. Appendectomy is being done worldwide for the acute inflammation of the appendix in golden hours or as an interval appendectomy after the subsidence of the features of inflammation for recurrent appendicitis. The word “Healed” presents a negative psychological impact on the patients as they think that their already “Healed” appendix is unnecessarily removed by the surgeon whereas the pathologist friends use this nomenclature only by the presence of features of any healing wound like fibrosis, eosinophils etc. We also present gross examination findings, histopathologic microscopic features along with photomicrographs of the few appendectomy specimens which were laparoscopically operated for the recurrent appendicitis.
