Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between the histological findings of excised appendices and intra-operative observations during open appendectomy, focusing on cases of uncomplicated appendicitis.
- Results show that the presence and condition of the greater omentum and peritoneal exudates can predict the histological state of the appendix, with high positive predictive values indicating a reliable connection between visible inflammation and acute appendicitis.
- The findings suggest that the macroscopic assessment of the appendix during surgery can significantly inform the need for further exploration or intervention.
