“…14 In contrast to present study a study by JM Aranda-Narváez et al, there was 40% incidence of surgical site infection in immediate appendectomy group in contrast to 0% in interval appendectomy group. 15 Longer duration of surgery and more hospital stays in conservative followed by interval appendectomy group in present study as well as Malik Arshad et al study. 8…”

Background: Acute appendicitis is the most common reason for emergency abdominal surgery. Acute appendicitis is ranging from mild inflammation of mucous membrane to gangrene, perforation and peritonitis. Appendicular mass is one of its early complication developing in 2 to 6 % cases of acute appendicitis within 48 hours of attack. Objective of this study was to evaluate the outcome of early surgical exploration and its complications in respect to conservative management followed by interval appendectomy for the management of appendicular mass.Methods: A total 46 cases with clinical feature suggestive of appendicular mass presenting in MLN Medical college, Allahabad were included in study. All cases divided into two equal groups based on mode of management of appendicular mass. Group I (early exploration) and Group II (conservative followed by interval appendectomy).Results: Result will be analysed in terms of hospital stay, morbidity, complications and cost.Conclusions: Early exploration for appendicular mass had advantages of total curative treatment in the index admission, shorter hospital stay, minimal morbidity and ensures early return to work and higher compliance. Operative problems such as localization of appendix, adhesiolysis and bleeding are more pronounced and troublesome with interval appendectomy. Wound infection remains common postoperative complication of early appendectomy in appendicular mass but the rate of wound infection is not so high as to preclude this early operative approach.

“…The authors concluded that both USGs and CTs were useful diagnostic tools in acute appendicitis; however, they recommended other radio-diagnostic tools that provide higher specificity and sensitivity in diagnosing acute appendicitis. [9] Doppler evaluation is effective in detecting increased blood flow, hyperemia, and temperature increases during inflammation. The use of Doppler significantly increases the sensitivity and accuracy of USG.…”

BACKGROUND: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdominal pain prompting emergency department (ED) visits. It is critical for the physicians to promptly and accurately diagnose acute appendicitis. The present study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of Doppler ultrasonography (USG) in patients with acute appendicitis and compare this new method with other commonly used radio-diagnostic tools.
