OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness of appendectomy in women undergoing laparoscopy for chronic pelvic pain without identifiable pathology. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included women aged 15 to 50 years who underwent laparoscopic surgery for chronic pelvic pain without identifiable pathology. The cohort was divided into 2 groups: women who underwent appendectomy and women who h...

INTRODUCTION Pathogenic movement of alpha-synuclein from the gut to the brain in PD has been proposed. The appendix has a relatively high density of alpha-synuclein deposition in neurologically healthy individuals. We investigated the incidence of PD after appendectomy. METHODS Using cause-specific hazards regression models, we compared persons over 35 years of age who had undergone appendect...

introduction appendiceal mucocele is a term referring to the abnormal accumulation of mucus into the lumen of appendix regardless of the underlying cause. mucocele alone is not considered a rare finding in routine appendectomy. however, the coexistence of multiple small intraluminal globoid bodies as “myxoglobulosis” or “caviar appendix” is a rare finding. case report we report a 54 year old wo...

laparoscopic surgery is now an integral part of the operative repertoire. single-incision laparoscopic surgery (sils) is a new technique developed for performing operations without a visible scar. pneumoperitoneum, as a necessary precondition of laparoscopic procedures, represents the restriction of the surgeon's freedom of movement and can lead to rare but typical complications. the single inc...

OBJECTIVE Assessment of frequency and clinical findings of parasitic infections for etiology of acute appendicitis. METHODS Data of 1452 patients who were carried out appendectomy between January 1999 and December 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. Appendectomy was performed in 1159 of the patients with a pre diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Demographics, physical findings, radiologic and la...

Appendicitis is a common and urgent surgical illness with variable manifestations, generous overlap with other clinical syndromes, and significant morbidity, which increases with diagnostic delay. No single sign, symptom, or diagnostic test accurately makes the diagnosis of appendiceal inflammation in all cases. The surgeon’s goals are to evaluate a relatively small population of patients refer...

abstract background: misdiagnosis of the acute appendicitis may increase the rate of negative appendectomies, which involve a huge waste of resources and are sometimes associated with severe complications. furthermore, false negative result of ultrasonography (us) could lead to perforation of appendix. since ultrasonography is still the most common imaging technique used in iranian appendicitis...

HYPOTHESIS Focused helical computed tomographic (CT) scanning with rectal contrast only is a superior diagnostic modality compared with the traditional triple-contrast CT scan for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. DESIGN Prospective randomized analysis of both CT scan modalities. INTERVENTIONS Only patients with uncertain diagnosis of acute appendicitis were entered in the study. The pat...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Laparoscopic appendectomy is an accepted way of dealing with suspected uncomplicated appendicitis in children. The role of laparoscopy in complicated acute appendicitis is more controversial. The purpose of this trial was to compare laparoscopic appendectomy with open appendectomy in children with complicated appendicitis. METHODS A total of 102 children with suspected acut...
