    Author: Dronov AF, Smirnov AN, Blinnikov OI.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1989 Nov; (11):16-20. PubMed ID: 2533301.
    Abstract:
    By using the method of electromyography of the anterior abdominal wall and punction laparoscopy in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis the author reduced the percentage of diagnostic errors considerably, to 5.7 and 0.9%, respectively (in the traditional means of making the diagnosis, it is about 30%). It is proved convincingly that nondestructive forms of acute appendicitis do not develop into destructive forms.
