Deskripsi
The scientific knowledge behind the need, timing, and route of appendectomy in an asymptomatic appendix with foreign body in a kidney-transplant recipient is lacking. One such case of an asymptomatic appendix with a metal bell pin undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy along with kidney transplant in the same sitting is being reported. This is probably the first and only such case reported so far.
