An Update to the Negative Appendectomy Rate: Review Article

ABSTRACT: The negative appendectomy rate is the rate of a normal appendix that is diagnosed histologically. It is an indicator of the diagnosis and treatment of acute appendicitis to prevent complications like perforation or abscess formation. In this review, we will look at the predictive factors for negative appendectomy, the role of pre-operative imaging in reducing the negative appendectomy rate, and the role of laparoscopic appendectomy in reducing this rate.
