The contemporary appendectomy for acute uncomplicated appendicitis in children.
The purpose of this research was to study cases of acute, uncomplicated appendicitis in children. The researchers found that, in a population of 9,507 patients, the children have excellent clinical outcomes, although children aged 5 and under have an increased risk of negative appendectomy. Also, more than one-third of children received a computed tomography prior to the operation despite guidelines against their use.
