• The treatment of an appendicular abscess can be divided into conservative treatment with intravenous antibiotics and percutaneous drainage of the abscess in stable patients.
• Conservative treatment of an appendicular abscess involves starting the patient on intravenous antibiotics, analgesics, monitoring the vital signs and keeping the patient fasted.
• The World Society of Emergency Surgeons (WSES) in their guidelines for the management and treatment of acute appendicitis have recommended that patients with an appendicular mass or abscess can be managed with an immediate laparoscopic appendectomy and conservative treatment with intra-venous antibiotics and percutaneous drainage of abscess may be employed when laparoscopic surgical services are not available.
• If expertise for laparoscopic surgery is available, then an immediate appendectomy should be performed as this will eliminate the problem and reduce the risk of recurrence.
