CHRONIC APPENDICITIS. DEFINITION, DIAGNOSING AND TREATMENT
Abstract
The literature review focuses on definition of “chronic appendicitis”, clinical manifestations of the disease, and differential diagnosis in the presence of chronic pain in the right iliac area. The article also considers indications and effectiveness for instrumental diagnostic methods (irrigoscopy, ultrasonography, multi-slice computed tomography, laparoscopy), and the adequacy of surgical treatment for chronic appendicitis.
