   An article on the clinical findings, patient history and physical exam in diagnosis for this disorder.

   Extractions: DALLAS Nov. 19, 1996 The most accurate way to diagnose appendicitis in a clinical setting still appears to be by combining the findings from the patient history and physical exams, concluded internal medicine physicians at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. The review, "Does This Patient Have Appendicitis?," was published in the Nov. 20 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Dr. James M. Wagner, associate professor of internal medicine and associate dean for student affairs, and his colleagues reviewed 10 well-documented appendicitis studies involving 4,000 patients to determine the effectiveness of the patient-history exam and physical exam in diagnosing appendicitis. "Too often technology is too heavily relied upon in the diagnosis of illnesses that afflict patients. In many instances, like appendicitis, a careful clinical examination is as good as or better than expensive high-tech tests," Wagner said. "We wanted to review the literature and find the most powerful aspects of the clinical examination in the evaluation of a patient with abdominal pain." The physicians found that six aspects of the history exam and the presence of at least four of seven physical symptoms provided the best method for diagnosing appendicitis without the aid of surgical methods. Observation of right lower-quadrant pain, rigidity of the lower abdominal muscle wall and migration of pain from the left side to the right side of the abdomen are the three most prominent clinical findings that indicate a high probability of appendicitis, Wagner said.

   Extractions: Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, a small pouch attached to the cecum, the beginning of the colon, on the lower right side of the abdomen. The appendix is not necessary for life, but it can become diseased. If untreated, an inflamed appendix can burst, causing infection and even death. Appendicitis can affect people at any age. It is most common in people ages 10 to 30. The cause of appendicitis is usually unknown. It may occur after a viral infection in the digestive tract or when the opening connecting the large intestine and appendix is blocked. The inflammation can cause infection, a blood clot, or rupture of the appendix. Because of the risk of rupture, appendicitis is considered an emergency. Anyone with symptoms needs to see a doctor immediately. Symptoms include The pain usually begins near the navel and moves down and to the right. The pain becomes worse when moving, taking deep breaths, coughing, sneezing, and being touched in the area. Not everyone has all the symptoms. People with symptoms of appendicitis should not take laxatives or enemas to relieve constipation because these medicines could cause the appendix to burst. Pain medicine can mask symptoms that the doctor needs to know about, so it should not be used before consulting a doctor when appendicitis is suspected.

The function of the appendix is uncertain and there seems to be no long-term problems in living without it. Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a small worm-like pouch attached to the large bowel. It can happen at any age but most cases are between 8 and 25 years of age. It is rarely seen in children aged under two years. For young people, appendicitis is probably the most common cause of stomach pain requiring emergency surgery.

   Extractions: Everyone knows someone who had appendicitis. It is said to occur in around 10 percent of the general population. The appendix resembles a smaller, thinner version of your pinky finger. Generally, it sits there in your right lower abdomen attached to the beginning of your large bowel, the cecum, quietly and without commotion. Should the channel in that little tube get itself blocked by small stones, debris, or whatever, bacteria can grow, causing an inflammation of the appendix. Like infection anywhere in the body, appendicitis is generally associated with tenderness over the area that is inflamed, fever, and an elevated white blood count. If treatment is delayed or if the disease is running a rampant course, the appendix may perforate. As discussed in the section ulcer , contact between the sterile abdominal (peritoneal) cavity and the inside of the GI tract is a major problem so time is of the essence. The diagnosis needs to be made quickly, the patient placed on antibiotics, and the appendix removed.

    Extractions: Eyes ... Appendicitis The appendix is a coiled, five to ten centimetre tube attached to the caecum (the first part of the large intestine), usually located in the lower right side of the abdomen. Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. This can be caused by an infection or the appendix can become blocked by bowel contents. With a blockage the appendix can become swollen and easily infected by bacteria. The best treatment of appendicitis is removal of the appendix. Once diagnosis is confirmed, the earlier surgery is done, the better (within the first 48 hours). Delay makes rupture of the appendix more likely, and if that happens, infection spreads within the abdominal cavity (peritonitis). What happens to my child before going to theatre?

    Extractions: Overview Appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix, a small, finger-shaped pouch that is located at the cecum (the junction between the large and small intestines). The surgery is the standard treatment for appendicitis (inflammation and infection of the appendix) and patients usually recover from appendectomy without experiencing complications. A ruptured appendix is considered a medical emergency. Surgical Procedures Surgeons use one of two surgical techniques, open appendectomy or laparoscopic appendectomy . The choice of method is made by the surgeon on a case-by-case basis. General anesthesia (agent that renders the patient unconscious) is used in both procedures. Open Appendectomy Open appendectomy is the traditional method and the standard treatment for appendicitis. The surgeon makes an incision in the lower right abdomen, pulls the appendix through the incision, ties it off at its base, and removes it. Care is taken to avoid spilling purulent material (pus) from the appendix while it is being removed. The incision is then sutured.
