Investigation and Comparison of Preoperative Symptoms in Patients With Appendicitis and Cholecystitis Before Appendectomy and Cholecystectomy Surgeries

We found several symptoms in both patients where abdominal pain was present in all patients in both groups. However, followed by abdominal pain, vomiting (118 (67.42%)), pain RIF (right iliac fossa) (101 (57.71%)), nausea (71 (40.57%)), and sharp pain (22 (12.57%)) were prevalent in the appendicitis group whereas tenderness (49 (100%)), epigastric pain (13 (26.53%)), and hypertension (10 (20.41%)) were prevalent in the cholecystitis group. However, fever was commonly present in several patients in both groups. Conclusion: Abdominal pain can be a major indicator of surgery in both appendicitis and cholecystitis patients. However, observation of other symptoms is crucial for initial symptomatic diagnosis and differentiating between these diseases.
