DOI: 10.1007/s00464-019-06847-2
Abstract: Background The advantages of laparoscopic appendectomy did not meet the same acceptance in the setting of perforated appendicitis as in uncomplicated appendicitis in the general surgical community. The aim of this study was to compare… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2016.10.010
Abstract: Background: The early prediction of gangrenous/perforated appendicitis is of great importance for the surgical planning, further treatments, and predicting the course of disease. Ischemia‐modified albumin (IMA) was previously reported as a biomarker of various ischemia‐based… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2017.06.003
Abstract: BACKGROUND We sought to decrease organ space infection (OSI) following appendectomy for perforated acute appendicitis (PAA) by minimizing variation in clinical management. OBJECTIVE A postoperative treatment pathway was developed and four recommendations were implemented: 1)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2018.02.030
Abstract: BACKGROUND Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is often used in children with perforated appendicitis, despite the absence of clear indications. We assessed the validity of specific clinical indications for initiation of TPN in this patient cohort.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2020.06.031
Abstract: BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Prophylactic, intraabdominal drains have been used to prevent intraabdominal abscess (IAA) after perforated appendicitis. We hypothesized that routine drain placement would reduce the IAA rate in pediatric perforated appendicitis. METHODS A 27-month quality improvement… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/08941939.2016.1257667
Abstract: ABSTRACT Aim: Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of abdominal surgical emergencies. Early diagnosis of appendicitis can reduce perforation and mortality rate. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein has been identified as a pro-inflammatory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000008747
Abstract: Rationale: Colonoscopy is a relatively safe and common procedure with low risks of complications, and acute appendicitis with perforation is an extremely rare complication of colonoscopy. The current study presents an unusual case of acute… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpc.14591
Abstract: Perforated appendicitis has poorer clinical outcomes compared to non‐perforated appendicitis. However, accurate outcome comparisons in research and clinical audits are challenged by its wide spectrum of manifestation. Previous attempts at the classification of severity have… read more here.
