Abstract

Acute appendicitis is one of the most common conditions treated in the emergency room all over the world. And it has come a long way from the first described it to present, where a number of studies are reported in the topic. Claudius Amyandin 1735 is credited with performing the first Appendectomy whilein 1886 Reginald Fitz first described the clinical features and pathologic abnormalities of appendicitis. And in 1945, Rose was the first to describe stump appendicitis in patients who had already undergone an appendectomy for appendicitis [1]. The lifetime risk of appendicitis is 8.6% for males and 6.7% for females with a slight male predominance [2].
