Abstract:
Perforating appendicitis is a critical condition that needs urgent surgery. However, there is controversy exists regarding early versus delayed surgery. Hence, we assessed 100 patients with immediate surgery in 50 cases and delayed intervention in the remaining 50 cases. The patients were followed up for one year to determine postoperative complications, hospital stay, and recovery. Results indicated that early surgery decreased complications and hospital stay very significantly. These results underscore the significance of prompt surgical intervention in enhancing outcomes and lowering healthcare costs.
