Neuroendocrine tumor of the appendix masquerading as acute appendicitis with a mucocele on CT scan: a rare finding
CONCLUSION: This case report emphasizes the importance of considering NETs of the appendix in the differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Imaging studies can provide valuable information, but the definitive diagnosis is made through histopathological examination. The treatment approach for NETs of the appendix depends on various factors and requires a multidisciplinary approach for optimal management.PMID:38499895 | DOI:10.1186/s40792-024-01870-5 (Source: Ann Oncol)

The Impact of Laparoscopic Appendectomy and Open Appendectomy on B7-H3-Mediated Intrinsic Immune Response in Children with Acute Suppurative Appendicitis
CONCLUSION: B7H3 was reduced in both postoperative periods, and the reduction was more pronounced in the LA group. B7H3 may be involved in postoperative recovery by modulating postoperative inflammation and immune responses.PMID:38495342 | PMC:PMC10941988 | DOI:10.2147/JIR.S446199 (Source: Cell Research)

Comparison of Hem-o-lok and Endoloop for Appendiceal Stump Closure in Laparoscopic Appendectomy: An Observational Retrospective Study
Conclusion: The study supports the equivalence of HC and EL closure techniques. Both methods demonstrate comparable postoperative complications, hospital stays, and readmission rates. Surgeons can make informed decisions based on patient profiles and available resources.PMID:38469602 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)
