Özet

Objectives: One of the most common emergency surgery in pediatric surgery is due to acute appendicitis (AA). The diagnosis of AA is usually made using with the clinical score using clinical signs, symptoms, and laboratory tests. But symptoms and signs are not always typical, and this situation put clinician in a compelling situation. The range of misdiagnosis of AA is between 28-57 % between 2-12 years old children. Thiol/Disulphide homeostasis is an important indicator of oxidative stress and inflammation. This study is aimed to evaluate and compare the feasibility of thiol/disulphide levels in pediatric patients with AA and abdominal pain (AP).
