Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The management of appendicular mass seems to be taking turn with the availability of better antibiotics, care and anaesthesia. Quite a few workers turned to the other extreme of traditional conservative approach and reported acceptable results with immediate intervention during phlegmonous stage. But practically, surgeons still continue to adopt the same old regime. To alleviate this fear and circumvent the disadvantages of immediate intervention a midpath regime called early appendicectomy has been clinically evaluated. With this new approach in the present study preventing misdiagnosis (15%), no chance of recurrence as also of missing in the follow-up and shorter overall hospital stay with economy are some strong reasons to adopt this regime.
