[Significance of the separate symptoms in acute appendicitis]
Abstract:
On the basis of the experience with treatment of 19,346 patients with acute appendicitis, the authors have established that pain in the right inguinal region, rigidity of muscles of the anterior abdominal wall, and a Volkovich-Kocher symptom were the most informative symptoms. The Shchetkin-Blumberg symptom caused by the development of an inflammatory process in the peritoneum is not an appendicular symptom; the Rovzing, Voskresensky, Obraztsov symptoms, not being the specific symptoms of acute appendicitis, are of essential informative value only in combination with the other symptoms of the disease.
