Nonoperative management in acute, uncomplicated appendicitis
After the publication of multiple trials testing antibiotics versus appendectomy, guidelines now include antibiotic therapy as an option for patients with acute, uncomplicated (ie, localized) appendicitis.1 Nonoperative management avoids short-term risks and morbidity associated with surgery but entails a longer course of antibiotic therapy, and, significantly, a large share of patients ( ∼30%) will fail nonoperative management, requiring appendectomy due to recurrent appendicitis.2 When presented with both options, ∼10% to 30% of patients/caregivers will choose nonoperative management.

Is LigaSure Alone Sufficient for the Closure of the Appendix Stump?
CONCLUSION: Appendiceal stump closure can be performed with Ligasure, but it should be noted that this procedure can be performed on selected patients, as in the study group, not on all patients.PMID:38357718 | DOI:10.1177/15533506241234005 (Source: Surgical Innovation)

Acute generalized peritonitis revealing an ovarian pregnancy: a case report
CONCLUSION: It is imperative to increase awareness among pregnant women about high-quality prenatal care, including early obstetric ultrasound, from conception. Meanwhile, healthcare professionals should receive continuous training and the technical platform modernised.PMID:38333325 | PMC:PMC10849453 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001686 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Atypical perforated appendicitis secondary to schistosomiasis: a rare case report
CONCLUSION: Although schistosomiasis is a rare cause of appendicitis and is very prevalent in developing nations, it should be considered when managing the condition. Anti-shistosoma drugs, which are not frequently used in post-appendectomy cases, should also be considered in the management.PMID:38333312 | PMC:PMC10849306 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001480 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Ovarian cancer with intestinal wall invasion and hyperamylasemia: a case report
Numerous studies have suggested a robust association between amylase and ovarian cancer. however, few amylase-producing ovarian cancers have been reported because amylase is a rare product of ovarian cancer. A case of an elderly female patient with an upper abdominal unfitness, intestinal wall along with uterine adnexal invasion, and high serum and urinary amylase is summarized in this article. The patient was initially suspected of having a gastrointestinal tumor. Initial laboratory findings showed markedly significantly raised serum and urinary amylase levels. Imaging showed invasion of the intestinal wall and uterine ad...

Laparoscopic appendectomy with single port vs conventional access: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
ConclusionsThis analysis show that SILA, although associated with fewer postoperative wound infection, has a significantly longer operative time. Furthermore, the risk of postoperative general complications is still present. Further studies will be required to analyse outcomes related to postoperative pain and the cosmetics of the surgical scar. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Cecal volvulus following appendectomy in a teenage patient: A case report
We present a case of a 14-year-old female who initially underwent open appendectomy for acute appendicitis and subsequently experienced symptoms of abdominal distention, vomiting, and fever. Her condition deteriorated following the appendectomy, despite a prior appendectomy for similar symptoms at a different facility. A computed tomography (CT) scan identified cecal volvulus as the underlying issue. This led to the performance of a laparotomy, cecopexy, and decompressive ileostomy. After six weeks, ileostomy closure was successfully carried out, and the patient currently enjoys good health. This case highlights the signif...
