Early versus Interval Appendicectomy in Appendicular Mass
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of the present study is to study the safety and feasibility of emergency appendicectomy in appendicular mass and to compare the complications, morbidity and mortality in emergency appendicectomy versus conservatively treated appendicular mass.Patients and methods: This hospital based prospective study includes60 consecutive casesdiagnosed with appendicular massadmitted in Siddhartha Medical College and General Hospital between July 2016 to December 2017. Results: Males (70%) were commonly affected with male to female ratio 2.66:1. Pain abdomen was the commonest symptom with which patient presented. There is no significant difference in the operative problems faced between the two lines of management studied here. More complications were noted in the group of patients treated by OchsnerSherren regimen followed by interval appendicectomy and hence these patients had more morbidity. Low morbidity, reduced hospital stay, low cost and patient compliance favour operative management of appendicular mass by experienced surgeons thus obviating the old practice of conservative treatment followed by interval appendicectomy.
