Interobserver Variability in Intraoperative Classification of Acute Appendicitis and Postoperative Antibiotic Management

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
During laparoscopy for suspected acute appendicitis (AA), surgeons classify the appendix as normal, phlegmonous, gangrenous, or perforated, with or without abscess. The surgeon's assessment directly influences postoperative antibiotic treatment and length of hospitalization. There is currently no objective gold standard for this classification.

Surgical Appropriateness of Imaging in Acute Cholecystitis: A Danish Audit

Surgical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute cholecystitis is a common surgical condition, most frequently caused by gallstones. Ultrasound is recommended as the first‐line imaging modality, while CT and MRCP are reserved for inconclusive cases or suspected complications. Increasing use of CT in Denmark raises concerns regarding unnecessary radiation exposure. This study

Depth and Procedure Specific Effects of Antimicrobial Versus Conventional Sutures on Surgical Site Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial sutures may be particularly beneficial in colorectal and abdominal procedures, where reductions in deep SSI may offset the additional suture cost. Several studies also reported favorable wound‐healing outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common postoperative complications that delay wound healing and increase ...

CT Versus Ultrasound in Young Women With Right Iliac Fossa Pain: A Single‐Centre Retrospective Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
In young women with right iliac fossa pain, CTs have a higher positive predictive value for appendicitis than ultrasounds. They also correlate better with raised inflammatory markers. CT could reduce the rate of unnecessary appendicectomies in young women in those without clear clinical signs and symptoms.
