Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, şüpheli apandisit hastalarında, cerrahın teşhis ve tedavi karaları üzerindeki tomografinin etkilerini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız 2010 - 2011 tarihleri arasında yapıldı. Apandisit olduğundan şüphelenilen ve batın tomografisi (BT) çekilen 125 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Tomografi çekiminin cerrahın teşhis ve tedavi kararları üzerindeki etkileri değerlendirildi. Bulgular: BT sonucunda 89 hastada apandisit bulguları belirlendi, 36 hastada apandisit bulgusu belirlenemedi. BT'de apandisit bulguları belirlenen hastaların 88'i ve BT'de apandisit bulgusu olmayan 5 hasta (toplam 93 hasta) ameliyat edildi. Histopatolojik incelemeye göre 83 hastada apandisit bulguları belirlendi, 10 hastada apandisit görülmedi. Çalışmamız sonucuna göre BT, şüpheli apandisit olan 98 hastada (%78,4) teşhis ve tedavi planının değişmesine sebep olmuştur. Bu hastaların 65'inde (%52) apandisit teşhisi kesinleşmiş, gözlem sonlandırılıp tedaviye geçilmiştir, 33 hastada hem teşhis hem tedavi planı değişmiştir. 27 hastada (%21,6) ise BT cerrahın kararlarına etki etmemiştir. Tartışma: BT, şüpheli apandisit hastalarında teşhis ve tedavi kararını etkileyen bir teşhis yöntemidir. Akut apandisit şüpheli hastalarda beklemeksizin BT çekimi yapılmasını öneriyoruz.

Özet

Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of computed tomography (CT) on the diagnosis and treatment plan of surgeons in patients with suspected appendicitis. Material and Method: Our study was conducted between 2010 - 2011. One hundred twenty five patients suspected appendicitis and underwent abdominal computed tomography scanning were enrolled. The effects of CT scanning on the diagnosis and treatment plan of surgeons were evaluated. Results: After CT scanning the findings of appendicitis was revealed in 89 patients were not revealed in 36. Eighty eight patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis after a CT scan and the 5 patients with clinical suspect of appendicitis which is not confirmed by CT scan were operated (total 93 patients). In according to histopathological findings acute appendicitis were confirmed in 83 patients and were not confirmed acute appendicitis in 10 patients. According to our study, CT has changed the diagnosis and treatment plan in 98 patients (78.4%) with suspected appendicitis. The diagnosis of acute appendicitis was confirmed in 65 (52%) of these patients, and treatment was started ending the observation. Diagnostic and treatment plan was changed in 33 patients and CT did not affect surgeon's decision in 27 (21.6%) patients. Discussion: CT is a diagnostic method which affects the diagnosis and treatment of patients with suspected appendicitis. We recommend CT scans without waiting in patients with suspected acute appendicitis.
