Book Chapter Description

Appendicitis is the most common condition requiring emergent surgery in children. Despite its high incidence and centuries of research on the condition, appendicitis remains the most frequently misdiagnosed surgical condition of the pediatric abdomen. This chapter outlines the epidemiology, presentation, and diagnosis of pediatric appendicitis. Additionally, the management of appendicitis, including emerging trends in nonoperative or deferred operative management, and follow-up care are described.
