AbstractMajor surgical societies advised using non-operative management of appendicitis and suggested against laparoscopy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The hypothesis is that a significant reduction in the number of emergent appendectomies was observed during the pandemic, restricted to complex cases. The study aimed to analyse emergent surgical appendectomies during pandemic on a national basis and compare it to the same period of the previous year. This is a multicentre, retrospective, observational study investigating the outcomes of patients undergoing emergent appendectomy in March–April 2019 vs March–April 2020. The primary outcome was the number of appendectomies performed, classifie…

Duodenal perforation due to an abdominal drain placed after appendectomy in a child

2008

Insertion of abdominal drainage after appendectomy is controversial. We report on a case of duodenal perforation due to a silastic open drainage tube placed in the right para-colic gutter after appendectomy for perforated appendicitis. This case offers a clue against too liberal usage of abdominal drainage after appendectomy. Conservative management of bowel perforations secondary to abdominal drainages should be attempted in the absence of generalised peritonitis.
