Abstract

Purpose: Interval appendectomy of appendicular masses is still a controversial subject, but recent studies have adopted the view that apendectomy is unnecessary after conservative treatment. The aim of our study is to determine the necessity of interval appendectomy after a successful conservative treatment of the patients who have appendicular masses and have not applied appendectomy. Materials And Methods: Between January 2000-December 2010, data of the 18 patients who have diagnosed with appendicular mass were analyzed. Age, sex, duration of symptoms, operation findings, the intervention, early complications and follow-up data were examined. Results: A total of 18 patients, 8 female and 10 male were referred to our emergency service with clinical findings of acute appendicitis. The patients who have diagnosed appendicular masses with physical examination and radiological findings have interned to the hospital and conservative treatment started. We applied to patients combined dual antibiotic treatment. After discharge they have followed by policlinic follow-up. One of the patients has been operated because of unregressed clinical findings. One of them have been operated in another center because of recurrence 3 months later. During the mean 6 years (6 months to 10 years) follow-up no recurrence occured in 16 patients (88.8%). Conclusion: Interval apendectomy is not necessary for the patients who has succesfully treated conservatively for appendicular masses and has not had recurrent symptoms.

Özet

Amaç: Apendiks kitlelerinde interval apendektomi halen tartışmalı bir konu olmakla birlikte son zamanlardaki çalışmalar sonucunda konservatif tedavi sonrası apendektominin gerekmiyeceği benimsenmiştir. Bu çalışmadaki amacımız apendiks kitlesi saptanıp apendektomi uygulanmayan hastalarda başarılı bir konservatif tedavi sonrası interval apendektomi ihtiyacını belirlemek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2000-Aralık 2010 tarihleri arasında apendiks kitlesi teşhisi konan 18 hastanın dosyası incelendi. Yaş, cinsiyet, semptomların süresi, ameliyat bulguları, yapılan girişim, erken dönem komplikasyon ve poliklinik takip verileri analiz edildi. Bulgular: Acil polikliniğimize 8i kadın 10u erkek olan toplam 18 hasta akut apandisit kliniğiyle başvurdular. Fizik muayene ve radyolojik bulgular eşliğinde apendiküler kitle tanısı konan bu hastalar kliniğe yatırılarak konservatif tedaviye başlandı. Antibiyoterapi olarak hastalara ikili kombine antibiyotik uygulandı. Taburcu edildikten sonra hastalar poliklinik takipleriyle kontrol edildiler. Hastalardan 1 tanesi kliniğinin gerilememesi üzerine operasyona alındı, 1 tanesinde ise 3 ay sonra nüks gelişmesi üzerine başka bir merkezde apendektomi yapıldı. Onaltı hastada (% 88.8) ise ortalama 6 yıllık (6ay–10 yıl) takip süresince nüks gelişmedi. Sonuç: Apendiküler kitle olan hastalarda başarılı bir konservatif tedavi sonrası tekrarlayan semptomları olmayan hastalarda interval apendektomi gerekli değildir.
