Abstract

Objective: Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of non-obstetric surgical intervention in pregnant women. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnosis and management of acuteappendicitis in pregnant patients within thelast 7 years in ourclinic. Material and methods: We retrospectively investigated the medical files of 23 patients who were followed up and treated for appendicitis in Ataturk University Hospital General Surgery clinic between January 2006 and December 2012. We analysed the data including; age, gestational weeks, complaints and physical examination Findings of patients, leukocyte and mean platelet volume levels, blood biochemistry, full urineanalysis, and physical finding in patients were abdominal pain and tenderness, respectively. Average leukocyte count was 13180/mm³ and average value of MPV was 8.03 fL (6.6-9.1 fL). A definitive diagnosis of acute appendicitis was made by magnetic resonance imaging in 15 patients and abdominal ultrasonography in 10 patients. One patient was found to have a perforated appendix. The average length of hospital stay of thepatients was 3 days. Conclusion: Diagnosis of acute appendicitis in pregnant women is not easy. Magnetic resonance imaging is an appropriate diagnostic tool in case of failure of abdominal ultrasonography.

Özet

Amaç: Akut apandisit gebe kadınlardakiobstetrik dı ı acil cerrahi müdahalenin en sık sebebidir. Bu çalı manın amacı, son 7 yıl içerisinde klini imizde takip ve tedavisi yapılan akut apandisitli, gebe hastaların tanı ve tedavisini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Atatürk Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Genel Cerrahi Klini inde Ocak 2006- Aralık 2012 tarihleri arasında takip ve tedavisi yapılan, 23 akut apandisitli gebe hastanın kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastaların ya ları, gebelik haftaları, ikayetleri, fizik muayene bulguları, lökosit ve meanplateletvolume de erleri, kan biyokimyası, tam idrar tahlilleri, ultrasonografi ve manyetik rezonans bulguları, ameliyat sonrası komplikasyonları ve hastanede yatı süreleri kaydedildi. Bulgular: Hastaların ya aralı ı 17-35 yıl idi (ortalama 26±5.4). Hastaların 8'i (%35) ilk trimestirde, 12'si (%52) ikinci trimestirde ve 3'ü (%13) üçüncü trimestirde idi. Hastalarda görülen en sık ikayet karın a rısı ve en sık görülen fizik muayene bulgusu ise hassasiyet idi. Hastaların lökosit de erleri ortalaması 13180/mm³ (750019500/mm³), MPV de erleri ortalaması 8.03 fL idi (6.6-9.1 fL). Tanı, hastaların 15'inde karın ultrasonografisi ile 10'unda manyetik rezonans ile konuldu. Bir hastada apendiks perfore idi. Hastaların hastanede yatı süresi ortalama 3 gün idi. Sonuç: Akut Apandisitin te hisi gebe hastalarda kolay de ildir. Karın ultrasonografinin yetersiz kaldı ı durumlarda manyetik rezonans görüntüleme yapılması uygundur.
