There are no primary preventive measures available for appendicular abscess. Reducing the risk of appendicitis however, can help in the first place .Following a diet that includes fresh vegetables and fruit may lower the risk.<ref>{{cite book | last = Williams | first = Norman | title = Bailey & Love's short practice of surgery | publisher = CRC Press | location = Boca Raton, FLa | year = 2013 | isbn = 978-1444121285 }}</ref>


===Secondary prevention===
==Treatment==
[[Peritonitis]] develops from the rupturing of the [[appendix]] and can lead to death is left untreated. Acute appendicitis that is evaluated and treated early with an [[appendectomy]] generally leads to no further complications and a patient's full recovery.
