Abstract

1. 1. The diagnosis of chronic appendicitis is based largely on roentgen-ray findings, although history and physical examinations are at times of value in diagnosis. 2. 2. The treatment is essentially medical, consisting of search for and eradication of infective foci and of proper dietetic and hygienic care. 3. 3. Surgical treatment is to be confined to the complications of chronic appendicitis, resulting in deformities of the appendix, cecum and ileum. 4. 4. Preoperative and postoperative care help to prevent disagreeable after-effects.
