Delayed appendectomy versus early appendectomy in the treatment of acute appendicitis: a retrospective study

Conclusions: This study revealed that delayed appendectomy was safe and feasible for adult patient although the clinical outcomes of delayed appendectomy were not superior to those of early appendectomy. We suggest that surgeons would decide the appropriate timing of appendectomy with consideration other situations such as available hospital resources.
