Presentation
- Among the complications of an open appendectomy is the presentation of an incisional hernia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
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]
Skin
Skin Tear
- The largest of the 3 wounds was a Class III skin tear based on the Payne-Martin Classification System. It measured (L) 4.4 cm (W) 1.8 cm (D) 0.3 cm and required 3 months to heal.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Fetus
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]
Workup
- 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]
Ultrasound
Ovarian Mass
- Imaging studies showed a right ovarian mass with features of a dermoid cyst and an appendicolith within the appendix without signs of acute appendicitis. She underwent concomitant LESS ovarian cystectomy and appendectomy without any complications.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Microbiology
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]
Treatment
- Nonoperative treatment of acute appendicitis is embraced by many surgical teams, driven by low to moderate quality randomized studies that support noninferiority of antibiotics versus appendectomy for treatment of acute uncomplicated appendicitis.[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
- 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]

- 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]
- 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]
Etiology
- Stump appendicitis is a rare complication seen after appendectomy and is generally not considered a possible etiology in patients presenting with fever and right iliac fossa abdominal pain with a history of 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]
