279 vermiform processes removed for different form of appendicitis were studied hystologically with obligatory analysis of appendix content. High rate of helminth intestation (27.2%) in vermiform processes removed in acute appendicitis surgery confirms an important role of small helminths (Enterobius, Trichocephalis and their larvae) in acute appendicitis development. The incidence of acute appendicitis and helminths interstation in children is higher than in adults. All the patients with acute appendicitis need helminthological examination and etiotropic treatment because appendectomy eliminates the complication but not the cause of intestinal disease.

Ultrasound is a first-line and often preferred imaging modality in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. When the appendix is not visualised during a dedicated appendix ultrasound study, patients may require a CT study, which uses ionising radiation, or undergo conservative clinical observation with the inherent risk of clinical deterioration, perforation and sepsis. Median baseline data, at our hospital imaging department, revealed a rate of combined normal and abnormal appendix visualisation of 34.

We started conventional 3-port laparoscopic appendectomy (CLA) in 1995 and introduced single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy (SILA) in 2009. This study compared perioperative outcomes between SILA and CLA to evaluate the usefulness of SILA.
