Abstract

In this retrospective study, we aimed to present the analysis of the surgical findings and results of 160 patients who were operated on with the preliminary diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Between March 2000 and December 2011, 160 patients who underwent surgery for the pre-diagnosis of acute apendicitis files and operation notes were analysed retrospectiveyl in department of general surgery. Gender, ages, operative findings were recorded. Of the patients who were operated, 68.1% were male and 31.8% were female. The median age of the patients was 35.3 years. 65.6% of patients had acute, 24.3% perforated, 3.1% plastrone, 1.8% gangrenous appendicitis. 0.9% of the patients had mucocele of the appendix. Appendicitis was not detected in 4.3%. In 81.7% of the patients, the appendix was in the anterior or anterio-medial region of the caecum and in 18.2% it was in the retrocecal region. Retroceacal apendicitis was more frequent in male. Perforated appendicitis was found in 27.5% of male patients and 17.6% of female patients. The rate of perforation was higher in retrocecal appendicitis (41.3%). This rate was lower in patients with anterior location (20.7%). In conclusion, in order to reduce morbidity and mortality in acute appendicitis cases, it is necessary to be very careful in the diagnosis and treatment process.

Özet

Bu retrospektif çalışmada amacımız, akut apendisit ön tanısıyla opere edilen 160 olgunun ameliyat bulgularının ve bunların sonuçlarının analizini sunmaktır. Mart 2000 ile Aralık 2011 arasında Genel Cerrahi Kliniğinde akut apendisit ön tanısıyla ameliyat edilen 160 hastanın retrospektif olarak dosyaları ve ameliyat notları incelendi. Cinsiyet, yaş, ameliyat bulguları kaydedildi. Ameliyat edilen hastaların %68.1’i erkek, %31.8’i kadındı. Hastaların median yaşı 35.3 idi. Hastaların %65.6’inde akut, %24.3’ünde perfore, %3.1’inde plastrone, %1.8’inde gangrenöz apendisit saptandı. Hastaların % 0.9’unda apendiks mukoseline rastlandı. %4.3’ünde ise apendisit saptanmadı. Hastaların %81.7’inde apendiks çekumun anterioru ya da anterio-medialinde, %18.2’inde ise retroçekal bölgedeydi. Retroçekal apendisit erkeklerde daha fazlaydı. Erkek hastaların %27.5’inde, kadınların %17.6’sında perfore apendisite rastlandı. Retroçekal apendisitlerde perforasyon oranı daha yüksekti (%41.3). Anterior yerleşimlilerde bu oran daha düşüktü (%20.7). Sonuç olarak, akut apendisit vakalarında, morbidite ve mortaliteyi azaltmak için tanı ve tedavi sürecinde çok dikkatli davranmak gerekmektedir.
