Abstract
Unnecessary appendicectomy carries long-term risks to the patient. The decision for surgical intervention is often made based on the patient's history and the findings of clinical examination. This article reviews recent papers published on the various methods of reducing the incorrect diagnosis of acute appendicitis, and the advances in its treatment.Entities:
