[Surgical interventions in complicated forms of acute appendicitis]. 1976

M I Lytkin, and A M Kariakin, and V S Bykov

Under study were the results of treatment in 10 056 patients with acute appendicitis, including 418 patients having its complicated forms. It is concluded that the extent of surgical intervention in complicated forms should be determined by the character of the complication, manifested in pathological changes of the peritoneal coat and patient's status. Appendectomy may be performed in most patients with appendicular infiltration. It is the authors' opinion that indications to peritoneal dialysis in peritonitis of appendicular origin should be largely restricted. The tactics employed by the authors enabled them to reduce the mortality in complicated forms of appendicitis up to 4.4%.
