So this is our same patient a few months

0:03

later getting a follow-up CT scan.

0:05

Again, as we follow her colon down,

0:07

you see a little bit of inflammation in

0:08

the fat right here, but significantly

0:10

better than it was previously.

0:12

See a few little lymph nodes here.

0:15

As we follow down right here, that's her normal

0:19

appendix coming off of her cecum right here.

0:21

Normal size, no longer enhancing, not

0:23

thick-walled, has a few foci of gas in it.

0:26

As we scroll down, her collections

0:28

are completely gone, maybe a little

0:30

bit of thickening here in the

0:32

fascia, but that's all that's left.

0:34

So in some cases, if you drain these

0:37

percutaneously, you can see her scar right

0:39

here from one of the drainage catheters,

0:41

the patient may not even need surgery.

0:43

They can just get by with

0:44

their percutaneous drains.

0:46

Once they are pulled, they may not

0:48

even need to get the appendix removed.
