The diagnosis of acute appendicitis is primarily based on clinical symptoms, signs, and auxiliary examinations. The patient describes abdominal pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting. During the physical examination, migratory pain in the lower right abdomen and significant rebound tenderness upon palpation are noted. Additionally, ultrasound diagnostics suggest swelling of the appendix lumen, all indicative of acute appendicitis. For acute appendicitis, once confirmed, surgery is generally required to remove the appendix, which is the only way to completely cure acute appendicitis.
