The technique was the standard lap appendicectomy, no port site gas leak was noted during surgery, trocar sizes and port site incisions matched appropriately,the appendix had not perforated,there was no peritoneal contamination appendix base was cauterised,the appendix removed from umblical port,histopatholology did not show any unexpected pathology,it was an inflammed appendix as expected,no perforation at all,I agree that baseline Ecg preoperatively would have added benefit but this was a 35 yr old female ,fit and healthy who never had any chest pain, there is no recommendation to do an Ecg preoperatively in patients presenting as acute appendicitis at the age of 35 ,being a female her pregnancy test was done which was negative,the surgery was a standard laparoscopic surgery in a 35 yr old lady with weight about 62 kg not at all obese,
