[Appendicular plastron: emergency or deferred surgery: a series of 27 cases collected in the surgical clinic of the Aristide Le Dantec Hospital].

Our study aimed to evaluate the outcome of the surgical treatment of appendicular plastron after deferred or emergency appendectomy. We conducted a retrospective, descriptive study of 27 patients treated for appendicular plastron from January 2000 to 31 December 2007. Diagnosis was based on clinical examination showing a mass in the right iliac fossa, on ultrasound or made intraoperatively.
