| Abstract: | Abstract Background: The most frequent abdominal surgical emergency is acute appendicitis. During the acute SARS-COV-2 pandemic, confinement and stay-at-home orders were enforced internationally to stop the spread of the disease, prevent the overload of the healthcare system, and reduce fatalities. Nevertheless, there are worries that because of these regulations, patients did not seek critical medical attention. Methods: There were 40 patients total, 20 in the COVID-19 pre-group and 20 in the COVID-19 post-group. The time between the onset of symptoms and admission in the COVID-19 group was 65.0 hours, which is significantly longer than the 17.3 hours observed in the pre-COVID-19 group (p 0.001). After the pandemic outbreak, there were considerably more cases of complex appendicitis than there were previously (50% versus 20%, p0.001). In the post-COVID-19 group, the average hospital stay was longer (3 versus 4.5 days; p=0.041). Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the timing of appendicitis diagnoses as well as the disease's course and average hospital stay. After the COVID-19 pandemic epidemic, patients with acute appendicitis were more likely to develop complicated appendicitis. |
