The goal of the study was to evaluate a comparative LA versus open appendectomy (OA) through the prism of the clinical results as they were reflected in specialty literature in the last two decades. In general, pediatric laparoscopic surgery has become acceptable in centres of the whole world.

The Ultrasonographic Exam for Acute Appendicitis at Patient’s Bed

Abstract Acute appendicitis is one of the most frequent surgical emergencies in children. The diagnosis of this condition is still a challenge for small pre-school children, and, generally, for children, as the wrong diagnosis is 28-57% for children between 2-12 years old.
