    Area of Science:

    • Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Context:

    • Analysis of 2555 appendectomies performed between 1985-1997.
    • Study conducted at the Clinic of Emergency Surgery, State University Hospital "Queen Giovanna", Sofia.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the incidence, causes, and outcomes of relaparotomy after appendectomy.
    • Investigate the relationship between appendicitis pathoanatomy and relaparotomy necessity.
    • Examine postoperative lethality associated with relaparotomy.

    Summary:

    • 28 cases (1.09%) required relaparotomy due to postoperative complications.
    • Data covers emergency and scheduled surgeries, detailing pathoanatomical findings.
    • Relaparotomy causes and mortality rates were analyzed, highlighting risk factors.

    Impact:

    • Identifies destructive appendicitis and advanced peritonitis as high-risk factors for mortality post-relaparotomy.
    • Provides insights into managing complex appendectomy cases and reducing postoperative complications.
    • Contributes to understanding surgical outcomes in emergency abdominal surgery.
