Topic overview
We thank Dr. Ayesha Saleem and associates for sharing their experience. Unlike your findings, we and other researchers [1] did not find an increase in patients presenting with complicated appendicitis during the height of the pandemic, although these are admittedly all small studies. We agree that this pandemic has forced us all to be flexible and rethink our previous workflows.
