Interval Appendectomy

Interval Appendectomy is a surgical procedure, classified as a delayed appendectomy, in which the removal of the appendix is performed electively at a time interval (typically 6–8 weeks) after the resolution of acute appendicitis, distinguishing it from immediate or emergency appendectomy by its deferred timing following non-operative management.
