Abstract
Appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies, and is usually diagnosed clinically on point tenderness in the right iliac fossa. The diagnosis can be difficult if there is abnormal anatomy. This case looks into the presentation of appendicitis within an incisional hernia secondary to r...

Epidemiology and Infection (138)8 2010
Abstract
Although the involvement of common childhood infections in the aetiology of acute appendicitis has long been conjectured, supporting evidence is largely restricted to a disparate set of clinical case reports. A systematic population-based analysis of the implied comorbid associations is lacking in t...

Abstract
Early diagnosis of acute appendicitis, known as the most frequent cause of acute surgical abdominal pathologies, dramatically decreases the related complications. D-lactate, produced by intestinal bacteria as a fermentation product, may be useful in diagnosing acute abdominal pathologies. The aim of...

Abstract
Epiploic appendagitis occurs more commonly than previously thought and the clinical presentation can mimic other serious acute abdominal processes such as diverticulitis and appendicitis. Epiploic appendagitis can be confidently diagnosed via CT scan in nearly all cases. As a result of the accurate...

Overall, 516 (23%) of 2283 patients had CT findings of probable or definite appendicitis. Thirteen (3%) of 516 patients did not receive immediate treatment for appendicitis. Of these, five (38%; 95% confidence interval: 18%, 65%) underwent later appendectomy with proved appendicitis after a mean int...

Abstract
Acute appendicitis continues to be a challenging diagnosis. Preoperative radiological imaging using ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT) has gained popularity as it may offer a more accurate diagnosis than classic clinical evaluation. The optimal implementation of these diagnostic modalities...

At presentation, a positive correlation for abscess formation was identified with increasing age (P = .003), weight (P = .001), body mass index (P = .008), and diarrhea (P = .005). Operative time had no influence on abscess development. After operation, there was progressively increasing positive co...
