The relationship between negative appendectomy and gynecological pathologies in female patients

Year 2011, Volume: 3 Issue: 3, 10 - 12, 01.08.2011

Abstract

Objective: The rate of acute appendicitis is rather than half of the acute abdominal pain and can be seen in all age groups. It is more often in female patients because of the look likes of gynecological pathologies with acute appendicitis. In this study, we aimed to present the rates and the treatment of gynecological pathologies in women who were operated with diagnosis of acute appendicitis but having normal appendix. Material and methods: Between January 2008 and 2010, we retrospectively evaluated 420 patients who were operated with the preoperative diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The patients were evaluated with physical examination, laboratory analysis and radiologic examinations. The diagnosis of acute appendicitis and gynecological pathology were made during the operation by macroscopic examination. Results: There were 260 61.9% male and 160 38.1% female patients. There were normal appendices in 28 6.6% patients peroperaitvely. In 28 negative appendectomy cases there were 19 females 67% . Negative appendectomy rates were statistically more common in females than in males p

Kadın hastalarda negatif apendektomi ile jinekolojik patolojiler arasındaki ilişki

Year 2011, Volume: 3 Issue: 3, 10 - 12, 01.08.2011

Abstract

Amaç: Akut apandisit her yaş grubunda görülebilen, erişkinde akut karın hastalıklarının yarısından fazlasını oluşturan bir hastalıktır. Kadın hastalarda jinekolojik patolojilerin akut apandisiti taklit etmesi nedeniyle bu oran daha da yükselmektedir. Bu çalışmada, akut apandisit ön tanısıyla ameliyat edilen ve normal apendiks saptadığımız kadın hastalarda tespit ettiğimiz jinekolojik patolojilerin tedavi yaklaşımlarını ve oranlarını sunmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Ocak 2008 Ocak 2010 tarihleri arasında kliniğimize başvuran ve akut apandisit ön tanısıyla opere edilen 420 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastaların tanıları fizik muayene, laboratuar bulgular ve radyolojik bulgulara göre konulmuştur. Hastalarımızda peroperatif apendiksin durumu ve jinekolojik patoloji makroskobik olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Hastaların 260'ı %61,9 erkek, 160'ı %38,1 kadındı. Tüm hastaların 28'inde %6,6 ameliyat esnasında normal apendiks saptandı. Bu hastaların 19'u %67 kadındı. Negatif apendektomi oranı kadınlarda erkeklere göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde daha yüksekti p
