Talk:Rovsing's sign

Rovsing's original method was intended to milk the contents of the large bowel backwards towards the caecum and appendix, rather than palpate the left iliac fossa pain as such. Where there was inflammation, distension of the caecum and appendix caused pain. It is not a reliable sign and, it most cases, it probably suggests that the inflammatory process is extending from the right iliac fossa towards the left. Mark ong (talk) 21:38, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

left lower quadrant

correction: The pain is located where the Gangrenous Appendicitis or Perforated Appendicitis is - the right lower ASCENDING colon. it is not left but right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karinsa (talk • contribs) 11:20, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Wrong description of Rovsing's sign

The wikipedia article repeats an error that has been present in medical textbooks for decades.

There is a scientific article that clarifies the matter:
