    Elective appendectomy during cesarean section did not increase postoperative morbidity in labor patients. Careful patient selection is recommended for this combined procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Cesarean sections are common obstetric procedures.
    • Appendectomy is a frequent surgical intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate whether elective appendectomy during cesarean section impacts postoperative morbidity.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of combining these procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving 90 labor patients undergoing cesarean section.
    • Patients were divided into two groups: cesarean section with elective appendectomy (n=45) and cesarean section alone (control, n=45).
    • Postoperative morbidity was compared between the two groups.

    Main Results:

    • Appendectomy added an average of 11.2 minutes to the operative time (p < 0.01).

  • Decidual infection occurred in 8.8% of the appendectomy group and 4.4% of the control group, with no statistically significant difference in overall morbidity (p = 0.33).
  • No complications were directly attributed to the elective appendectomy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Elective appendectomy performed concurrently with cesarean section does not significantly increase postoperative morbidity.
    • Careful patient selection is crucial for successful combined cesarean section and appendectomy.
