Abstract

Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate clinical, laboratory, and histopathologic features of the patients underwent appendectomy with clinical suspicion of acute appendicitis (AA). Patients and Methods: The medical records of 581 patients who underwent appendectomy for suspected AA in 2008 were evaluated retrospectively. Their clinical, laboratory, radiologic and histopathologic features were reviewed. Results: 495 were enrolled in this study. Of these, 462 patients (89%) had AA and 33 patients (7%) did not. In patients with AA, all patients had abdominal pain and the other symptoms were nause and vomiting. Physical examinations findings were tenderness (in all patients), rebound and fever. Leukocytosis in the patients with AA was determined in 407 patients (88%). In patients without AA, all patients had abdominal pain and the other symptoms were nause and vomiting. Physical examinations findings were tenderness (in all patients), rebound and fever. Leukocytosis in the patients without AA was determined in 20 patients (61%). The leukocyte counts of the patients with AA was higher than the patients without AA, (p=0.001).Conclusion: History and physical examination are still most important diagnostic tools. Also, laboratory findings such as leukocyte count and neutrophil percentage and ultrasonography may be helpfull for diagnosis.

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmada, akut apandisit (AA) ön tanısıyla appendektomi yapılan hastaların klinik, laboratuar ve histopatolojik bulgularının değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Hastalar ve Metod: 2008 yılı içinde AA ön tanısı ile ameliyat edilen 581 hastanın dosyasından hastanın klinik, laboratuar, radyolojik ve histopatolojik bulguları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: 495 hasta bu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bu hastaların 462’si (%89) AA tanısı alırken, 33 hastada (%7) AA saptanmadı. Akut apandisit tanısı alan hastaların hepsinde karın ağrısı yakınması varken diğer semptomlar bulantı ve kusma idi. Fizik muayenede tüm kadranlarda hassasiyet, rebound ve ateş saptandı. Akut apandisit tanısı alan hastaların 407’sinde (%88) lökositoz saptandı. Akut apandisit tanısı olmayan hastaların hepsinde de karın ağrısı varken diğer yakınmalar bulantı ve kusma idi. Bu hastaların fizik muayenesinde tüm hastalarda hassasiyet, rebound ve ateş saptandı. Lökositoz bu hastaların 20’sinde (%61) saptandı. Akut apandisit olan hastaların lökosit değeri olmayan hastalarınkinden daha yüksekti (p=0.001) Yorum: Öykü ve fizik muayene AA tanısında halen önemlidir. Lökosit sayısı ve nötrofili gibi laboratuar bulguları ile ultrasonografi tanı için yardımcı olabilir.
