Abstract

Acute appendicitis may cause morbidity and mortality because of high perforation ratio especially In the early childhood and elderly patients. In this study we retrospectively evaluated 84 patients who were operated at the pediatric surgery clinic and 176 patients who were operated at the General Surgery Clinic. Perforation rate was found as 50 % in patients younger than 15 years of age and 41.5 % in patients older than 16 years of age. There was no statistically significant difference between the perforation rates of the groups. Perforation rate was 86 % in 0-4 years age group and 83 % in patients older than 60 years age group. Complications like ileus, intra-abdominal abscess and sepsis were found significantly higher in pediatric group. Mortality rate was higher in pediatric group (2.7 %) compared to adult group (0.77 %). Hospital stay time was significantly longer in 0-4 years of age and older than 60 years of age groups compared to the other groups.

Özet

Akut apandisit, özellikle erken çocukluk çağı ve yaşlı populasyonda yüksek perforasyon oranı nedeni ile morbidite ve mortalite nedeni olabilmektedir. Çalışmamızda Genel Cerrahi ve Çocuk Cerrahisi Kliniklerinde ameliyat edilen akut apandisitli olgular, perforasyon, postoperatif komplikasyon, mortalite oranları ve hastanede yatış süreleri açısından karşılaştırıldı. Çalışma periyodunda çocuk cerrahisi kliniğinde ameliyat edilen 84 ve genel cerrahi kliniğinde ameliyat edilen 176 olgu retrospektif olarak incelendi. Onbeş yaş altı grupta perforasyon oranı % 50, 16 yaş üstü grupta ise % 41.5 olarak bulundu. Perforasyon oranı açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı farklılık yoktu. Yaş gruplarına göre perforasyon oranları incelendiğinde 0-4 yaş grubunda % 86, 60 yaş üstü grupta ise % 83 perforasyon oranı bulundu. Pediatrik gruptaki olgularda yedi günden uzun süren adinamik ileus, mekanik intestinal obstrüksiyon, intraabdominal apse ve sepsis komplikasyonları erişkin gruba göre anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu. Erişkin grupta ise akciğer komplikasyonları anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu. Pediatrik grupta mortalite oranı (% 2.7) erişkin gruba göre (% 0.77) anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu. Hastanede yatış süresi 0-4 ve 60 yaş üstü gruplarında diğer alt gruplara göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu.
