Acute appendicitis is the most common general surgical emergency during pregnancy, and timely diagnosis and management are crucial - though often challenging in clinical practice. We would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete this survey, which aims to better understand current preferences, practice patterns, and the use of clinical practice guidelines in the management of appendicitis in pregnancy.
