Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of early appendectomy in appendicular abscess. Methods Fifty patients with appendicular abscess who received early appendectomy in our hospital from January 2009 to June 2012 were considered as the abscess group,50 cases patients received acute appendicitis surgery were regarded as the control group. The postoperative hospital stay,cost of hospi-talization,operative time,the amount of bleeding in operation and complications were retrospectively analyzed. Results The operative time of abscess group was (68±23) min,and the control group was (49±14) min (P<0. 05). There were significant differences in operating time between two groups. But there was no significant difference in intraoperatve blood soss,length of stay,the average hospitalization charge and surgical complications (P>0. 05). All patients were cured. Conclusion Early treatment of appendiceal abscess is safe and alternate to conventional conservative treatment followed by interval appendectomy. It is not only to avoid the secondary hospitalization and treatment fail-ure,but also save the cost of hospitalization and minimize the medical expenses.
