[Intraoperative diagnosis of different forms of acute appendicitis]

Acute appendicitis is an actual problem of urgent surgery. Diagnostic errors make 5-50% depending upon the morphological form of acute appendicitis. The Z.M. Sigal method of transillumination pulsomotorographic monitoring was used for functional characterization of the vermiform process and caecum during the operation. The method is based on phototransformation of pulse and motility into electrical signals with the graphic registration of intraorganic haemomotorodynamics. Specific haemomotorodynamic disturbances were found out when investigating different morphological forms of acute appendicitis. This express method was successfully used in one hundred patients during operation. The regional electrostimulation of the caecum was used in cases of ischemia of the latter after appendectomy.
