    Abstract Introduction: Acute appendicitis is a common presentation to surgical departments, typically resulting in appendicectomy. Appendiceal tumours may not be visible intraoperatively, and are present in roughly 0.5-1% of specimens. Routine resection of the mesoappendix is not universally practiced, despite the mesoappendix being commonly involved in appendiceal tumours.This is a case series of the histological findings of 21 patients with appendiceal tumours, with consideration to tumour within the resected mesoappendix.
    Methods: We reviewed the histology of 1344 patients undergoing laparoscopic appendicectomy over a 6-year period assessing for the presence of appendiceal tumours and resected mesoappendix.
    Results: Twenty-one patients were found to have appendiceal tumours, with a mean maximum tumour dimension of 7.2 mm. Sixteen of these patients had simultaneous mesoappendix resection, of whom six (38%) were found to have direct or indirect tumour tissue within the mesoappendix.
    Conclusion: Further evidence for routine removal of the mesoappendix, and the need for larger prospective studies to investigate for any survival benefit. We note the worrying trend of conservative management of acute appendicitis.

    Abstract Clinical Handover has been identified as one of the most high-risk processes within medicine. Inadequate handover is a significant cause of avoidable adverse events across many hospitals. A likert-survey of the weekend handover system at a district general hospital demonstrated significant dissatisfaction amongst junior doctors. Intending to improve patient safety and reduce stress for on-call junior doctors, a weekend handover proforma was compiled according to the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons guidelines. The proforma was trialed on six medical wards for six months with a before and after questionnaire being sent to doctors on the wards involved to determine the proforma's merits on a scale of 1 (least effective) to 10 (most effective). Reports subsequent to implementation demonstrated a 67% increase ease of identifying outstanding weekend jobs. 57% of doctors reported better understanding of their patient's diagnosis and management plan and 53% stated it was easier to identify the patients that required regular medical review over the weekend. Results also highlighted a 55% reported an increase in safety of weekend handovers (p<0.01). A closed loop audit of handover practice through the use of a standardised proforma showed improved quality, detail and consistency of handovers. The reduction in stress for junior doctors managing unknown patients with a clear concise plan, directed by a senior from the parent team during the week, has improved patient safety and doctor satisfaction.

    Abstract Trichobezoars are rare, but most commonly found in young women with trichophagia and trichotillomania. Complications can include iron deficiency anaemia and gastric erosion or, rarely, perforation. A 19-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain, vomiting and lethargy. Initial investigations revealed a palpable abdominal fullness on examination and iron deficiency anaemia. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy found a large trichobezoar associated with gastric erosions, polyps and an ulcer. Subsequently, the patient reported previous consumption of artificial hair extensions, which ceased 5 years previously. Attempts to remove the trichobezoar by endoscopy were ineffective and in line with current literature, laparotomy was successful. This case describes a rare cause of trichobezoar and emphasises the importance of appropriate initial investigations and definitive management.

    Abstract Introduction: Acute right iliac fossa (RIF) pain is amongst the most common presentation to the surgical team. Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of this pain and often warrants surgical intervention. In many cases intervention results in a negative appendicectomy with unnecessary complications as a result. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of pre-operative imaging in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis to reduce the rate of negative appendicectomy and unnecessary operative intervention.
    Methods: A retrospective single centre cohort study was undertaken in a district general hospital (DGH) of all laparoscopic appendicectomies over a six-year period. 1344 cases were included and were examined for the use of pre-operative imaging (and type) or none. The sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive value for each type of imaging were analysed for their accuracy in diagnosis appendicitis based on the final histological analysis.
    Results: The negative appendicectomy rate was found to be greatest in those undergoing ultrasonography (48.21%) as their method of pre-operative imaging whilst those who underwent computed tomography (CTAP 20.26%) had a lower rate equivalent to that of clinical diagnosis alone (20.73%).
    Conclusion: USS is less sensitive than CT in diagnosing acute appendicitis. There is no statistically significant difference in negative appendicectomy rate between clinical diagnosis and CT diagnosis. Pre-operative imaging has a role in the diagnosis of appendicitis but needs to be utilised appropriately to reduce the strain on the surgical department and prevent the potential of a negative appendicectomy.
