Prophylactic appendectomy during cesarean section is safe and does not increase complications. This procedure, performed with invaginant technique, shows no significant difference in surgical time or hospital stay compared to cesarean section alone.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Cesarean sections are common surgical procedures.
  • Appendicitis can occur during pregnancy, posing risks.
  • Prophylactic appendectomy during cesarean section is a potential strategy to prevent future appendicitis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the safety and impact of prophylactic appendectomy performed concurrently with cesarean section.
  • To evaluate the effect on postoperative morbidity, surgical time, and hospital stay.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 59 term pregnant patients undergoing cesarean section.
  • Group I (29 patients): Cesarean section with prophylactic appendectomy (invaginant technique).
  • Group II (30 patients): Cesarean section only.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant difference in surgical time between groups (56.75 min vs. 53.96 min).
  • Hospital stay durations were similar (mean 29.98 hours vs. 27.72 hours).
  • No postoperative morbidity was observed in either group.

Conclusions:

  • Cesarean section combined with prophylactic appendectomy using the invaginant technique is a safe and straightforward procedure.
  • This combined approach does not increase postoperative morbidity, surgical duration, or hospital stay.
