Review of the pathological results of 2660 appendicectomy specimens
Abstract
Purpose Appendicitis is the most commonly performed emergency abdominal surgery. The appendix can also be the site of a variety of neoplasms and unusual inflammatory conditions. A retrospective review was performed to determine the pathological diagnoses in appendicectomy specimens. Methods This study is a retrospective analysis of 2660 appendicectomies performed from 1997 to 2003. The reports were analyzed for the following parameters: age-related incidence of acute appendicitis, seasonal variation in presentation, perforation rate, rate of negative and incidental appendicectomy, and the incidence of other pathologies encountered. Results Of the 2660 appendicectomy specimens, acute appendicitis was seen in 1718 patients (64.58%), with a peak in patients in their second decade (35.09% of cases of acute appendicitis). The perforation rate was 13.9% and was significantly higher in patients aged 70 years or more (P Conclusions The high rate of negative appendicectomy among female patients and the increased incidence of perforation in elderly patients reinforce the validity of the judicious use of laparoscopy in these populations. There are still a number of unusual histologies found in appendicectomy specimens supporting the continued use of routine histology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
