Among the complications of an open appendectomy is the presentation of an incisional hernia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Right Lower Quadrant Tenderness

  An 11-week-old girl was brought to the emergency department with a 48-hour history of abdominal pain, emesis, low-grade fever, and focal right lower quadrant tenderness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• No Pubic Hair

  In the case of a laparoscopic operation, the patient has three stapled scars of about an inch (2.5 cm) in length, between the navel and pubic hair line. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Reduced Fetal Movement

  MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 32-year-old para 0 woman at 34 weeks of gestation attended to the present clinic because of a feeling of reduced fetal movements in the last 24 hours. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In literature there seems to be some advantage in favour of laparoscopic appendectomy; a more accurate preoperative diagnostic workup is anyway advised in consideration also of the greater incidence of neoplasias among elderly people [1, 3, 4]. [intechopen.com]

Baseline coronary artery disease or cardiac dysfunction—goals of management: According to the ACC/AHA guidelines, appendectomy falls into minimal to moderately invasive procedure; further workup is usually not recommended unless for the patients with [clinicaladvisor.com]

• Taenia Saginata

  The objective of our study is to report a very rare case of post appendectomy faecal fistula caused by taenia saginata infestation and was successfully treated conservatively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The network was informed primarily by indirect treatment comparisons. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Because we established a 24% minimal clinically important difference, we did not demonstrate noninferiority of antibiotic treatment for appendicitis relative to surgical treatment. [doi.org]

Prognosis of Appendectomy Prognosis of this procedure is based on two parameters, i.e. recovery after the surgery and the mortality linked with appendectomy. [newsmax.com]

After the surgery, it may take about 3 weeks for a complete recovery Simple Appendectomy has an excellent prognosis However, if there are complications and the appendix has ruptured the prognosis is still good. [dovemed.com]

But the good news is that she is… The prognosis and everything went well. Thank God. It's been a rough 48 hours here." [blabbermouth.net]

Several factors may contribute to the etiology of stump appendicitis, mainly related to the length of the residual tissue after appendectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This underappreciated structural characteristic of perfusion may be an important causal factor in the overall etiology of appendicitis. [laparoscopy.blogs.com]

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY The exact mechanism of AA is still unclear, but is believed to be multifactorial. [wjgnet.com]

Briefly, the pathophysiology and progressive timeline of AA are attributed to the following: Luminal obstruction causing distention Ineffective venous and lymphatic drainage Bacterial invasion Perforation with associated leakage of contents into the peritoneal [emedicine.medscape.com]
