Brief Summary: This study aim to analyze the clinical data of patients who underwent emergency appendectomy for acute complicated appendicitis with peri-appendiceal abscess or phlegmon identify factors influencing the post-operative length of hospital stay LOS and improve treatment strategies
Detailed Description: Appendicitis is defined as inflammation of the vermiform appendix and worldwide is the most common reason for emergency abdominal surgery Globally the annual incidence is 965 to 100 cases per 100 000 adult population For acute uncomplicated appendicitis antibiotic therapy has emerged as the primary treatment often allowing patients to avoid surgery However the management of acute complicated appendicitis requires careful consideration of various treatment options

Complicated appendicitis characterized by peri-appendiceal phlegmon or abscess formation presents additional challenges and often requires a more comprehensive treatment approach Management strategies have evolved to incorporate both conservative and surgical treatments tailored to the patients condition Typically for early-stage appendicitis duration of symptoms 72 hours with peri-appendiceal phlegmon surgical treatment is recommended while late-stage appendicitis duration of symptoms 72 hours or cases with peri-appendiceal abscess formation are initially managed conservatively with percutaneous drainage and antibiotics Despite this some patients still prefer surgical intervention for various reasons Currently there is a lack of studies on the outcomes of patients with acute complicated appendicitis who opt for surgery over conservative treatment highlighting the need for further research

In practical terms the benefits and risks of all treatment options should be thoroughly presented and discussed Recommendations for surgery versus a conservative treatment-first approach should be based on individual clinical and radiographic findings as well as patient treatment expectations and preferences This study aim to investigate the clinical significance of peri-appendiceal abscess or phlegmon in the surgical management of acute complicated appendicitis
