What is the department for suspected appendicitis?

Suspected appendicitis should first be seen in general surgery. Because appendicitis is a common disease in general surgery, it is also the most common type of acute abdomen in surgical outpatient clinics, accounting for about 10% of surgical emergency visits. The treatment options are based on the type of appendix. The most common option is surgery, especially for septic appendicitis, gangrenous or perforated appendicitis, which should be treated by general surgery in time for preoperative preparation. Appendicitis is mainly due to an obstruction of the appendiceal cavity secondary to infection, which manifests as pain. The typical symptom is metastatic right lower abdominal pain and, if complicated by restrictive peritonitis, significant rebound pain and muscle tension, and even common symptoms such as fever, nausea and vomiting. The most effective treatment is surgery in general surgery.
