Dr. Anitha B. Chalageri

Abstract :

Acute appendicitis is a common presentation in surgical assessment units and appendicectomy accounts for a large number of emergency operations. Histopathological examination of the appendicectomy specimen are routinely carried out. The aim of this study is to correlate the histological findings of appendicectomy specimens with the clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis, find the negative appendicectomy rate and know whether routine histologic examination of all the appendicectomy specimens is needed. This is a retrospective analysis of 59 appendectomies carried out in a private hospital between September 2016 and Feuary 2017. The Histopathology reports of appendicectomy specimens were analysed retrospectively.
