MODERN APPROACHES TO THE DIAGNOSIS AND SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ACUTE APPENDICITIS IN CHILDREN.

Abstract

Abstract: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies in the pediatric population, requiring timely diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention. Despite advances in diagnostic imaging and surgical techniques, challenges remain in the early identification and optimal management of pediatric patients. This article reviews modern approaches to the diagnosis and surgical treatment of acute appendicitis in children, focusing on clinical evaluation, imaging modalities, minimally invasive techniques, and postoperative care. The integration of these approaches aims to improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce surgical complications, and enhance recovery outcomes.
