AB Appendicitis  is  one  of  the  most  common  surgical  emergencies.  Despite  advances  in  laboratory  testing  and  imaging,  accurate  diagnosis  of  appendicitis  remains  a  challenge.  Complications  from  misdiagnosis  of  appendicitis  include  intraabdominal  abscess,  wound  infection,  adhesion  formation,  bowel  obstruction,  and  infertility.
