The outcome of acute appendicitis in a tertiary referral centre

 

Acute appendicitis remains a serious and very common surgical condition.  Patients from our referral base tend to present late, with advanced and complicated appendicitis.  This cohort provides an excellent marker of the quality of service at an institution.  This research project describes the cohort and the key performance indicators in their management.  It forms part of a master’s degree dissertation.
