We report acute appendicitis with abscess treated by laparoscopic interval appendectomy (lapIA) after a few months′conservative management. From January 2007 to April 2010, we performed a total of 71 1aparoscopic appendectomies in our department. Five cases of them were associated with abscess and treated by lapIA. No postoperative complication was observed. Therefore, 1apIA for appendicitis with abscess is considered to be a feasible therapeutic procedure.
