Recurrent appendicitis is defined when patients with recurring similar right iliac fossa pain had acute appendicitis confirmed at the time of operation and the pain completely subsided after surgery. We conducted a retrospective study on our patients with appendicitis. ⋯ Fifty-eight percent of the episode occur within six months of the presentation. We conclude that recurrent appendicitis should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with recurrent right iliac fossa pain.
