Can an appendiceal fecal stone be ignored?

The presence of an appendiceal fecal stone needs to be heeded because when there is a fecal stone in the appendiceal lumen, it obstructs the appendiceal lumen. When the patient’s resistance is low or the appendix is edematous, acute appendicitis can be induced, and it can also lead to perforation of the appendix or even periappendiceal abscess. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the general surgery department, digestive surgery department, or colorectal surgery department as soon as possible to complete the relevant examinations and have the appendix surgically removed. Laparoscopic appendectomy can be chosen, which is less traumatic, quicker recovery and better aesthetics. During the treatment period, patients should avoid alcoholic beverages and do not eat too spicy food, which can easily trigger the onset of appendicitis. Fresh fruits and green vegetables can be consumed appropriately, and low-fat high-quality protein can be consumed appropriately, commonly including fresh fish, shrimp and leaner beef. Other precautions need to be consulted with the attending physician.
