Clinical Observation on Perforated Appendicitis and Its Management

摘要

The perforated appendicitis is a grave and very common complication of acute appendicitis presenting as an acute abdomen with or without classical features of appendices and at the same time also common cause of emergency surgical admission. Despite an increase use of USC, CT, laproscopy, the rate of misdiagnosis of appendicitis remained constant (15.3%), as has the rate of appendiced rupture. Overall rate of perforated appendicitis is 25.8% (Schwartz, 9,h edition). Celsus (First century AD) first discovered this vestigial organ and Verheyen coined the name "appendix" in 1970 (Breiger 1972).
