CLINICAL CORRELATION OF ACUTE APPENDICITIS WITH ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION AND HISTOPATHOLOGY OF APPENDIX
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 23
Abstract
[b]INTRODUCTION: [/b] The Vermiform appendix described as “worm of the intestines”, considered by most to be a vestigial organ can be a real nuisance at time, when it is the seat of infection. Its importance in surgery is mainly due to its propensity for inflammation. Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of “acute abdomen” in young adolescents and appendectomy is often the first major procedure performed by a surgeon in training. Sir Heneageogilivie says, “Acute Appendicitis is one of the commonest conditions which the surgeon is called upon to treat as an emergency”.1It requires utmost skill and care of the attending surgeon, besides good clinical judgment. Acute appendicitis is diagnosed mainly clinically. No single investigation has established its superiority over the simple, unbiased and repeated clinical examination by an expert in the surgical field. 2In spite of our tremendous progress in modern technology, nobody, by no means, could predict which appendix goes for appendicitis at which time and later its attendant lethal complications. 3 Here we are presenting a study about clinical correlation with USG and histopathology of appendicitis.
