“…There have been several reports of acute appendicitis after endoscopic resection (ER) for tumors near the appendiceal orifice. 7 – 10 However, the current case was very rare because none of the resected polyps was near the appendiceal orifice. The pathogenic mechanism of appendicitis is complex.…”

Acute appendicitis after colorectal endoscopic mucosal resection: a case report

et al. 2022

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was originally described in 1973 and is currently a popular practice used in treating polyps, small adenomas, and early cancers. Although the safety of EMR has been proven in numerous studies, complications occur occasionally. We report a case in which the patient complained of severe upper abdominal pain and who was diagnosed with acute appendicitis after colorectal EMR. The patient recovered well after surgery. Cautious observation is necessary when resuming oral intake in patients who undergo colorectal EMR and who complain of postoperative abdominal pain. Observation is especially important for patients with a fecalith that may have originally existed in the appendix or in the colon near the appendix.

“…66 In most cases, laparoscopy was used as the initial treatment, whereas it was required in other 4 cases as a rescue procedure after the failure of nonoperative treatment. 26,28,40,51 Recently, there has been a growing interest in nonoperative management of acute appendicitis, and the dictum that surgical removal of the appendix is necessary has been largely challenged. 67 For image-proven uncomplicated FIGURE 3.…”

The purpose of this study is to review the cases of postcolonoscopy appendicitis (PCA) reported in the literature. A comprehensive search using PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Google Scholar identified 57 cases. The median age at presentations of PCA was 55 years. PCAs typically occurred during the first 24 hours after colonoscopy, and the majority developed after diagnostic colonoscopy. Clinical presentations were similar to those with common acute appendicitis, though with a high perforation rate. Most patients were correctly diagnosed using ultrasound or computed tomography scan. Treatment included open appendicectomy, laparoscopic appendicectomy or cecotomy, radiologic drainage of the abscess, nonoperative treatment with antibiotics. In addition to barotrauma, fecalith impaction into the appendiceal lumen, direct trauma to the appendiceal orifice, and underlying ulcerative colitis, a pre-existing subclinical disease of the appendix seems to play an important role in the pathogenesis. For PCA, timely diagnosis and management are crucial to attain a satisfactory outcome.
