Abstract:

Background: Little is known about patients with appendicitis presenting at nighttime. It is hypothesized that patients presented at night more frequently have a complicated (gangrenous or perforated) appendicitis and therefore develop more postoperative complications. Methods: In this study data were used from the nationwide, prospective SNAPSHOT study appendicitis, including 1975 patients undergoing surgery for suspected appendicitis. This study included only adults. Two primary outcomes were defined: (A) The proportion of patients with complicated appendicitis and (B) the proportion of patie

Gastrointestinal bezoars often occur as a complication of previous gastric surgery or in patients with altered gastrointestinal motility. Complications associated with gastrointestinal bezoars include perforation, peritonitis, protein-losing enteropathy, and acute appendicitis.

Acute appendicitis represents one of the most common causes of acute abdomen that may warrant emergency surgery. Necrotizing fasciitis complicated by acute appendicitis is considered a rare complication with life-threatening implications. A 65-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, where a scan, revealed a perforated appendicitis complicated by an anterior abdominal wall collection. He underwent percutaneous drainage, but subsequently developed extensive necrotizing fasciitis requiring extensive debridement and reconstruction. The rapid progression of necrotizing fasciitis calls for early

Abstract:

Background: Although acute appendicitis is the most common surgically correctable cause of abdominal pain, the diagnosis is challenging. There may not be classical symptoms and signs of appendicitis always. Accurate diagnosis can be aided by biochemical testings and radiological evaluation and expectant management. These might delay laparotomy and lead to complications of appendicitis and increase the morbidity. Recent research literatures have shown that hyperbilirubinemia is a diagnostic tool for gangrenous/perforation of appendix. This study is designed to evaluate the association between t

Introduction. Acute appendicitis occupies one of the leading positions in terms of incidence among urgent surgical diseases of the abdominal organs in Russia and in the world. Despite the accumulated experience in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, a number of challenges still remain, leading to delayed diagnosis and, as a consequence, the development of destructive and complicated forms and deterioration of treatment outcomes. One of these "stumbling blocks" is the differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis and infectious diseases. In addition, acute appendicitis frequently develop

Therefore, there is a need for fast, low-cost markers that can be diagnosed earlier.

Stump appendicitis is a rare but serious complication that can occur after an appendectomy, characterized by inflammation and infection of the remaining portion of the appendix (1). Patients typically present with symptoms similar to those of appendicitis, such as abdominal pain, fever, and nausea. However, the diagnosis can be challenging because the patient has previously undergone an appendectomy, potentially leading to delays in treatment and increased risk of complications (1).

Introduction: Laparoscopic appendectomy was accepted as a way of treating acute appendicitis in the very dawn of laparoscopic surgery. However, since it is more expensive than open appendectomy, questions were raised regarding its feasibility. There are numerous reports that laparoscopic appendectomy is feasible because of its shortened postoperative recovery, but some studies report equal lengths of hospital stay and recovery time after open and laparoscopic appendectomy. An alternative, extracorporeal method of laparoscopic appendectomy has evolved, that is not as expensive as normal laparos
