Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Appendicitis is one of the most common acute surgical conditions of the abdomen and an appendectomy is one of the most frequently performed operations worldwide. This is a retrospective analytical study during the period of October 2013 to October 2015. Overall 260 appendectomies were performed during the study period. 211 (81.1%) had histopathological findings consistent with appendicitis, which was variously reported as acute suppurative appendicitis, transmural inflammation of the appendix with or without fecolith and gangrenous perforated appendix. Nine cases of fibrous obliteration of the lumen without evidence of inflammation were reported. Two cases showed parasite infection of Enterobius Vermicularis, one Chron s disease, one with tuberculosis and one with metastatic deposit of adenocarcinoma from stomach. The negative appendectomy rate was 9.6%, the female sex accounted for 60% of the negative appendectomies
