Content Summary


This article analyzes the rates of negative appendectomies and perforated appendices in a Labrador general surgery practice. The study compares these rates with those published in the literature and identifies trends that could guide future improvements in patient management. The findings suggest that the rates are comparable to other studies, but highlight the need for continued vigilance in diagnosis and treatment.
