Good question: incepted stool in the lumen of appendix with time becomes stone like formation will eventually obstruct the lumen causing severe appendicitis time unpredictable ( or may never will obstruct reason some will do just observation ) , best way to manage is by laparoscopic removal electively at your convenience .
