Acute appendicitis is the most common reason for abdominal surgery in children. Though appendectomy considered the gold standard there are a lot of complications related to it. Conservative management of acute appendicitis is not new to medical science. In pandemic like COVID-19 when all the health systems were about to shut-down because of lack of manpower and resources, we started a trial of non-operative management. The main aim of this study is to find out the management of acute appendicitis during COVID-19.
