| Core Tip |
Many controversies exist for the management of acute appendicitis (AA). Imaging modalities complement the clinical examination in AA diagnosis. Various imaging features of different imaging modalities should be considered to reduce diagnostic inaccuracies. Various diagnostic scoring systems augment clinical judgment, but uncertainty exists about the best score. Non-operative management of both uncomplicated and complicated AA is possible and reasonable, especially during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Intra-operative techniques of securing the base of the appendix stump via suture, clips, or stapling devices are all debated for superiority. Adjuncts and novel treatment ideas using endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy are emerging. |
