The analysis covers 2555 appendectomies, performed on an emergency and scheduled surgery basis in the clinic of emergency surgery.--State University Hospital "Queen Giovanna", Sofia, over the period 1985-1997. Relaparotomy is necessitated in 28 cases (1.09 per cent) because of various postoperative complications. Data are presented on the number of relaparotomies, done under conditions of emergency and scheduled surgery, and with a special reference to the pathoanatomical character of appendicitis. The underlying causes of undertaking relaparotomy and postoperative lethality are analyzed. As shown by the obtained results post-relaparotomy mortality rate is the highest after primary operation for destructive form of appendicitis and advanced form of peritonitis.
