Our Gynecological Pathology Rates in Negative Appendectomy Cases

Abstract

Gynecological pathologies mislead us in diagnosis of 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. Between 1997- 2003, we retrospectively evaluated 834 patients who were operated with the preoperative diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The diagnosis of acute appendicitis and gynecological pathology were made during the operation by macroscopic axamination. There were 834 patients being 502 (%60.8) male and 332 (%39.2) female. There were normal appendices in 53 (%6.4) patients peroperaitvely. In 53 negative appendectomy cases there were 38 females. Negative appendectomy rates were more common in females than in males and that was found to be statistically significant (χ 2 = 8.34, p<0.01). Of the 38 females with negative appendectomies 17 (%44.8) had gynecological pathologies and 21 (%55.2) had no other pathologies. The gynecological pathologies were corpus hemorrhagicum cyst rupture (n=6, %35), ovarian cyst rupture (n=6, %35), pelvic inflammatory disease (n=2, %12), ovarian torsion (n=2, %12) and ectopic pregnancy rupture on the left ovarian tube (n=1, %6). In female patients with abdominal pain, we should also think the probability gyncological pathologies, that’s why gynecological history should be taken and gynecological examination should be made.
