Stump appendicitis is a rare complication reported both after laparoscopic and open appendectomy. Diagnosis of the condition is usually delayed because of previous history of appendectomy and adequate clinical vigilance on part of treating surgeon is required. It results from incomplete appendectomy. Stump appendicitis is inflammation of residual appendix after appendectomy and has reported incidence of 1 in 50,000. We report a case of 20-year-old male who underwent open appendectomy 7 years back and now presented with features of abdominal wall abscess. The patient was diagnosed with stump appendicitis and laparoscopic completion appendectomy was done.
