Abstract:
A retrospective analysis is reported of 110 pregnant women with acute appendicitis on the basis of inquiry with participation of 23 surgical centres in the period 1979-1989. Attention is called mainly to diagnostic difficulties and peculiarities of the clinical course of this acute abdomen syndrome in pregnancy. The authors found that acute appendicitis was most frequent in primiparae in the 1st and 2nd trimester of pregnancy and the always high mortality was caused mainly to delay of operation.
