Routine versus selective abdominal computed tomography scan in the evaluation of right lower quadrant pain: a randomized controlled trial.
OBJECTIVES To determine the role of abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging in patients with right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain. The authors hypothesized that selective use of abdominal CT would reduce imaging without increasing the rates of negative appendectomy and perforated appendicitis. METHODS A prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted in a community teaching emergency depart...

متن کاملEfficacy of preoperative computed tomography imaging to reduce negative appendectomies in patients undergoing surgery for left lower quadrant abdominal pain.
BACKGROUND Clinical assessment of acute appendicitis can be challenging due to atypical presentation. Computed-tomography can reduce negative appendectomies but not without adverse effects. We report our experience with preoperative CT-scan in patients with suspected acute appendicitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS During 3-years, 257 adult patients underwent appendectomy. We retrospectively reviewed...
