Chronic appendicitis results from the treatment of acute appendicitis, forming a chronic inflammation around the appendix. Clinically, it mainly manifests as recurrent pain or dull pain in the right upper abdomen, with either fecalith obstruction in the appendix cavity or adhesion of the appendix cavity. When chronic appendicitis has an acute flare-up, it is recommended to actively pursue surgical treatment. Therefore, when chronic appendicitis occurs, it is advised to consult general surgery, or gastroenterological surgery if the hospital has specialized departments.
