This disease is common and occurs with an annual incidence of 0.25 per cent in the normal population, and there is a lifetime risk for acute appendicitis of 7-9 per cent. This book presents research data from across the globe in the study of appendicitis, its symptoms, diagnosis and treatments. Included herein are topics such as appendicitis during pregnancy; antibiotic therapy alone in the management of acute appendicitis; diagnostic strategies and immunology in acute appendicitis; and, utilisation of the Alvarado score to perform CT for acute appendicitis. |
