Why doctors don’t recommend surgery for appendicular fecaliths

Appendiceal fecal stone doctor does not recommend surgery may be appendiceal fecal stone is not embedded, can be treated conservatively without surgery; however, if it is embedded appendiceal fecal stone, and at the same time ultrasound or CT suggests that the appendiceal lumen is dilated, then it needs to be surgically treated. The appendix is a unidirectional organ located at the blind end of the ileocecal region and can easily become entrapped by a fecal stone in the body. Occasionally, however, the fecal stone is only lodged within the appendix and does not become embedded, and there is no inflammation resulting in swelling and pus buildup in the appendix. In this case, the stone is expelled by bowel movements or peristalsis of the appendix, so it can be treated conservatively, and surgery is not necessary in this case but it may recur. When the appendix fecal stone embedded, appendix swelling will cause pain, pus further accumulation, serious cases may cause gangrene and perforation of the appendix, appendicitis at this time need to be surgically removed out of the treatment, otherwise it is easy to delay the condition.
