Scoring system for emergency surgery in acute appendicitis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Emergency appendectomy is no longer the only treatment option for uncomplicated appendicitis. Currently, there is no scoring system to determine whether acute appendicitis requires surgical intervention. This study aimed to develop a scoring system for emergency surgery in acute appendicitis (SESAA).
