Abstract

Objective: In this study we aimed to evaluate the results of pathology that patients undergoing laparoscopic and open appendectomy with suspected appendicitis from August 2012 to August 2014. Material and Method: In this study data from 131 patients undergoing laparoscopic and open appendectomy between August 2012 and August 2014 in Van Training and Research Hospital were examined retrospectively for demographic characteristics. Results: In the laparoscopic appendectomy group handmade endoloop technique was used for closing the base of the appendix. Mc Burney’s incision was used for open appendectomy. 47% of patients was female (n=61), 53% of patients were male (n=69). The average age of the patients was 27.7 years. According to surgical technique, open appendectomy was performed 15% (n=20), laparoscopic appendectomy was performed 85% (n=110). Postoperative drainage tube was put to 15% of patients (n=20). Wound infection was seen in 4 open appendectomy performed patients (20%). Laparoscopic appendectomy was associated with a shorter hospital stay (2.2 days vs 2.8 days). When the pathology results are analyzed, 2 malignancies are revealed (1,5%), 1 carcinoid tumor, 1 neuroendocrine tumor. After pathology results hemicolectomy was performed. Conclusion: Appendectomy is the most frequently performed surgery, even if macroscopic pathology is not present the risk of malignancy can not be underestimated

APENDEKTOMİ OLGULARIMIZIN PATOLOJİ SONUÇLARI AÇISINDAN İRDELENMESİ

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmadaki amacımız Ağustos 2012- Ağustos 2014 tarihleri arasında akut apandisittanısıyla laparoskopik ve açık teknikle apendektomi yapılan olguların patoloji sonuçlarıaçısından irdelenmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada Ağustos 2012 ve Ağustos 2014 tarihleri arasında Van EğitimAraştırma Hastanesinde akut apandisit ön tanısı ile opere olan 130 hastanın verileri demografiközellikleri, patoloji sonuçları açısından retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Hastaların %47’ si bayan (n=61), %53’ü erkekti (n=69). Hastaların yaş ortalaması27,7 yıl idi. Cerrahi teknik olarak %15 açık apendektomi (n=20), %85 laparoskopik apendektomi(n=110) yapıldı. Hastaların %15’ine postop dren konulmuştur (n=20). Yara yeri enfeksiyonuaçık apendektomi yapılan 4 olguda görülmüştür (%20). Laparoskopik apendektomi yapılanhasta grubunda açık apendektomi yapılanlara göre hastanede ortalama kalış süresi daha kısabulundu (2,2 gün, 2,8 gün). Patoloji sonuçları incelendiğinde 1 adet karsinoid tümör, 1 adetnöroendokrin tümör olmak üzere 2 hastada malignite saptandı (%1,5). İki hastaya dalaparoskopik apendektomi sonrası tanı konulmuş olup patoloji sonucu sonrası sağhemikolektomi yapılmıştır.Sonuç: Apendektomi en sık yapılan ameliyatlardan olup makroskopik olarak patolojidüşünülmese bile malignite riski azımsanamayacak derecede mevcuttur
