Abstract
Abstract Stump appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendiceal stump left after an appendectomy. It can represent a diagnostic dilemma if the attending physician or surgeon is not aware of this uncommon entity. Prompt recognition of this disease is important, as delay in the treatment may result in complications such as perforation, abscess formation and sepsis. We report a series of cases of stump appendicitis that presented to our unit over the last 5 years.
