Enterobius vermicularis infestation of the appendix mimicking acute appendicitis in a young Italian boy Case report.

2021

Enterobius Vermicularis (EV) is the most commonly identified heminth incidentally found within the appendix of a clinically diagnosed appendicitis. This simple presence of EV may cause appendicular colic, primarily affecting children, it is an important cause of negative appendicectomy. We report a case of a young male who presented with clinical features of acute appendicitis. Laparoscopic appendicectomy was uneventful and pathologic examination revealed the presence of an EV infestation originating from the lumen of his vermiform appendix. KEY WORDS: Acute appendicitis, Diagnosis, Enterobius Vermicularis.L’Enterobius Vermicularis (EV) è il più frequente ossiuro identificato occasionalment…

Operācijas laika ietekme uz apendektomijas rezultātu

2018

Kopsavilkums Nosaukums: Operācijas laika izvēles ietekme uz apendektomijas rezultātu Fons: Apendektomija ir viena no pasaulē visbiežāk veiktajām akūtajām ķirurģiskajām manipulācijām. Vēsturiski to veic nekavējoties un neatkarīgi no diennakts laika. Tomēr ir svarīgi jautāt, vai laika izvēle ietekmē klīnisko rezultātu. Mērķis: Pētījuma mērķis ir izvērtēt, vai apendektomiju ir iespējams aizkavēt vai arī tiešas ķirurģiskas iejaukšanās gadījumā rezultāts būs labāks. Materiāli un metodes: Šis ir retrospektīvs pētījums ar nejauši atlasītiem pacientiem ar apendektomiju, kas veikta Rīgas Austrumu klīniskajā universitātes slimnīcā 2015. un 2016. gadā.

Laparoscopic approach in abdominal emergencies: a 5-year experience at a single center.

2012

Background. Laparoscopy is ever more common in both elective and emergency surgery. In fact, in abdominal emergencies it enables the resolution of preoperative diagnostic doubts as well as treatment of the underlying disease. We present a retrospective study of the results of a 5-year experience at a single center. Patients and methods. Between September 2006 and August 2011, 961 patients were treated via laparoscopy, including 486 emergency cases (15 gastroduodenal perforation; 165 acute cholecystitis; 255 acute appendicitis; 15 pelvic inflammatory disease and non-specific abdominal pain [NSAP]; 36 small bowel obstruction). All procedures were conducted by a team trained in laparoscopic su…

Physiological parameters for Prognosis in Abdominal Sepsis (PIPAS) Study: a WSES observational study

2019

Timing and adequacy of peritoneal source control are the most important pillars in the management of patients with acute peritonitis. Therefore, early prognostic evaluation of acute peritonitis is paramount to assess the severity and establish a prompt and appropriate treatment. The objectives of this study were to identify clinical and laboratory predictors for in-hospital mortality in patients with acute peritonitis and to develop a warning score system, based on easily recognizable and assessable variables, globally accepted. Background Timing and adequacy of peritoneal source control are the most important pillars in the management of patients with acute peritonitis. Therefore, early pr…

Needle perforation of the bowel in childhood

2004

Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies occurs frequently in childhood. The majority of them are passed spontaneously, and conservative management generally is recommended for foreign bodies in the stomach and duodenum. However, in some cases, operative intervention should be considered to prevent undesirable complications, such as intestinal perforation. Two cases of intestinal perforation owing to accidental ingestion of a needle are reported. J Pediatr Surg

The association between appendicitis severity and patient age with appendiceal neoplasm histology—a population-based study

2022

Abstract Purpose Recent studies have reported alarming appendiceal tumor rates associated with complicated acute appendicitis, especially in patients presenting with a periappendicular abscess. However, the data on histology of appendiceal tumors among acute appendicitis patients is limited, especially in patient cohorts differentiating between uncomplicated and complicated acute appendicitis. We have previously reported the association of increased appendiceal tumor prevalence with complicated acute appendicitis in this population-based study. The objective of this secondary analysis was to evaluate the association of both appendicitis severity and patient age with appendiceal tumor histol…

Accuracy of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in adult patients: review of the literature

2013

Background Ultrasound is a widely used technique in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis; nevertheless, its utilization still remains controversial. Methods The accuracy of the Ultrasound technique in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in the adult patient, as shown in the literature, was searched for. Results The gold standard for the diagnosis of appendicitis still remains pathologic confirmation after appendectomy. In the published literature, graded-compression Ultrasound has shown an extremely variable diagnostic accuracy in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (sensitivity range from 44% to 100%; specificity range from 47% to 99% ). This is due to many reasons, including lack of operat…

Acute appendicitis and endometriosis: Retrospective analysis in emergency setting

2013

Introduction. The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of appendiceal and pelvic endometriosis in a population with diagnosis of acute appendicitis in an emergency setting. Materials and methods. We carried out a retrospective study in the period between January 2010 and October 2013. We performed 429 appendectomy including 233 in female subjects (54.3%). In all patients of childbearing age, we did β-hCG urine test to rule out the presence of an extra-uterine pregnancy. Results. 127 of 233 patients received a laparoscopic approach (54.5%). The median age was 29 years-old (range 17-68). The diagnosis of appendiceal and/or pelvic endometriosis was performed in 10 patients (4.3%): 9 …
