-Background -Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical abdominal disease in the emergency room. ABCDDV/848RESUMO -Racional -Apendicite aguda é a doença abdominal cirúrgica mais comum nas unidades de emergência. Embora o diagnóstico seja clínico, a realização de exames complementares pode ser útil na dúvida diagnóstica. Objetivo -Avaliar as principais alterações de exames laboratoriais em pacientes com apendicite aguda, assim como sua relação com a fase evolutiva da doença. Métodos -Avaliação prospectiva de pacientes com diagnóstico de apendicite aguda submetidos ao tratamento cirúrgico. Resultados -Cento e setenta e nove pacientes participaram deste estudo, a maioria do sexo masculino. A idade média foi de 26 anos. Em relação à contagem de leucócitos, 46,9% apresentavam valores <15.000 mm3. A porcentagem média dos polimorfonucleares foi de 81,7%, de bastões 1,2%, de eosinófilos 1%, de linfócitos 12,8% e de monócitos 2,9%. A proteína C reativa foi solicitada para 54 pacientes. Ela foi <10 mg/dl em 19, entre 10 e 50 mg/dl em 24 e maior ou igual a 50 mg/dl em 11. Com relação à fase evolutiva 64% pacientes apresentaram estágio inicial (fases 1 e 2), 16,2% fase 3 e 35 fase 4. 57% dos pacientes com contagem de leucócitos totais maior ou igual a 20.000/mm3 apresentaram perfuração apendicular (p<0,05). A porcentagem de leucócitos polimorfonucleados de pacientes com fases iniciais foi menor em relação às avançadas (79,8% e 85,1%, respectivamente), com valor de p<0,05. Pacientes com fases avançadas de apendicite aguda a quantidade de linfócitos foi menor em relação às iniciais (9,3% e 14,8%, respectivamente), com valor de p<0,05. Noventa e quatro porcento dos pacientes com valores de proteína C reativa <10 mg/dl apresentaram fases iniciais de inflamação apendicular (p<0,05). Conclusão -Houve associações significativas entre contagem total e diferencial de leucócitos, valores de proteína C reativa e fase evolutiva de inflamação apendicular.

Introduction: Surgery is the treatment of choice in locoregional thyroid neoplasia recurrence. The intense tissue healing process observed after surgery changes the neck anatomy, makes reoperation difficult, and interferes with surgical success. The use of the Radioguided Occult Lesion Localization (ROLL) technique has become a viable option to localize thyroid tumors. Objective: To analyze the use of the ROLL technique for the treatment of thyroid cancer recurrence with respect to its clinical, surgical and anatomopathological aspects. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study that analyzed 56 medical records and anatomopathological examinations of patients of both sexes who had thyroid neoplasms, underwent previous surgeries on this topography, and were submitted to the ROLL technique for recurrence removal from March 2011 to March 2019. Results: Most patients were women aged 46.05 years, on average. Papillary thyroid neoplasm was the most prevalent histological finding. In 100% of the cases, application of the ROLL technique identified and removed the lesions marked with suspicion for malignancy. Conclusion: Radioguided surgery has proved to be a very effective and safe tool to assist with lesion localization for the treatment of thyroid cancer recurrence. This technique has brought no additional side effects to patients, required minimal radiation and made surgery less invasive, reducing postoperative complication rates.
