Nonoperative treatment with antibiotics versus surgery for acute nonperforated appendicitis in children: a pilot randomized controlled trial
Jan F. Svensson,Barbora Patkova,Markus Almström,Hussein Naji,Nigel J. Hall,Simon Eaton,Agostino Pierro,Tomas Wester +7 more
TL;DR: This pilot trial suggests that nonoperatively treatment of acute appendicitis in children is feasible and safe and that further investigation of nonoperative treatment is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-hospital Surgical Delay Does Not Increase the Risk for Perforated Appendicitis in Children: A Single-center Retrospective Cohort Study.
TL;DR: In-hospital delay of acute appendectomy in children was not associated with an increased rate of histopathologic perforation, and timing of surgery was not an independent risk factor for postoperative complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonoperative Treatment Versus Appendectomy for Acute Nonperforated Appendicitis in Children: Five-year Follow Up of a Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial.
Barbora Patkova,Anna Svenningsson,Anna Svenningsson,Markus Almström,Markus Almström,Simon Eaton,Tomas Wester,Tomas Wester,Jan F. Svensson,Jan F. Svensson +9 more
TL;DR: Evaluating the safety and feasibility of nonoperative treatment of acute nonperforated appendicitis in children during 5 years of follow-up found treatment with antibiotics seems to be safe in the intermediate-term; none of the children previously treated nonoperatively re-presented with complicated appendiciti.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome after introduction of laparoscopic appendectomy in children: A cohort study
Jan F. Svensson,Jan F. Svensson,Barbora Patkova,Barbora Patkova,Markus Almström,Markus Almström,Simon Eaton,Tomas Wester,Tomas Wester +8 more
