Acute appendicitis - one of the most common consults you'll get as a general surgeon! In this video I build on the information we learned in the first two videos so if you haven't checked those out definitely do that! We're going to take a deep dive into the treatment and management of appendicitis as well as a review of the literature.

Remember that the treatment of appendicitis doesn't just start in the operating room, put your knives away for just a moment. The treatment of appendicitis starts immediately in the emergency room with fluid resuscitation, IV antibiotics and then a decision of where the patient needs to go...the OR, the floor or the ICU. After that you now need to make a decision, are you going to manage this nonoepratively or take the patient to surgery. There is strong literature to support a nonoperative approach in both adults and children but it's important to understand the inclusion and exclusion criteria for nonoperative management. If you decide to go to the operating room now you have some new decisions to make... An open appendectomy? A laparoscopic appendectomy? A robotic appendectomy? Each of these options is safe and you need to decide as a surgeon how you want to solve the appendicitis problem. After your appendectomy it's time to decide on antibiotics or not and to make that decision you need to know...was this simple or complicated appendicitis. In many cases of simple appendicitis an operation is enough and no antibiotics are indicted. In complicated appendicitis postoperative antibiotics are indicated for 3-7 days following the operation. Lastly we're going to discuss the interval appendectomy. I will counsel families on the value of interval appendectomy in patients who have an obstructing fecalith or mass or those who do not want to risk an episode of recurrent appendicitis. In adults, patients with an age greater than 45 year have an increased risk of a underlying malignancy so interval appendectomy is indicated. I will usually perform this interval appendectomy at 12 weeks after diagnosis.
