[Appendectomy in parallel with gynaecological laparotomy (author's transl)]

W D Junge, W Beckert

    Zentralblatt Fur Gynakologie
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Performing appendectomy during gynecological laparotomies is a safe and effective prophylactic measure against appendicitis, especially in older patients. This approach minimizes complications and offers significant preventative benefits.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Procedures
    • Gastroenterology
    • Gynecology

    Context:

    • Appendectomy is frequently performed concurrently with gynecological laparotomies.
    • Existing literature suggests low complication rates for combined procedures.
    • Senile appendicitis incidence and complications are increasing.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of performing appendectomy concurrently with gynecological laparotomies.
    • To assess the rate of pathohistological findings in simultaneously removed appendices.
    • To recommend appendectomy as a prophylactic measure in specific contexts.

    Summary:

    • This study details 102 appendectomies performed alongside 193 gynecological laparotomies.
    • Low complication rates were observed, aligning with broader literature.
    • Pathohistological analysis revealed tissue peculiarities in 37.5% of appendices, contrasting with higher reported figures.
    • The discrepancy in pathohistological findings is discussed.

    Impact:

    • Recommends concurrent appendectomy as a prophylactic strategy for senile appendicitis.
    • Highlights the importance of considering legal, clinical prerequisites, and contraindications.
    • Suggests this combined approach is a viable preventative measure when conditions are met.
