Acute appendicitis: A paradigm shift

Research output: PhD ThesisPhd-Thesis - Research and graduation internal

Abstract

This thesis examines the shifting paradigm of diagnosis and treatment of acute appendicitis in adults. Rather than simply labeling cases as "acute appendicitis", the need for a precise distinction between complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis is emphasized. A practical scoring model is introduced to facilitate this distinction, detailing the developmental process.
