Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Acute appendicitis is the commonest abdominal emergency. It can be managed as emergency or the surgery can be delayed for some time. Materials and methods: The present comparative study included 128 patients with acute appendicitis admitted at the department of surgery. Data regarding clinical features, management and complications was noted and compared between the two groups. Results: Mean age of patients, sex, BMI, initial total leucocyte count and associated comorbidities were similar in the two groups. Incidence of wound infection in the two groups did not differ as well as the chances of complications. Conclusion: Appendicectomy can be delayed in the selected patients without the risk of increased morbidity.
