An analysis is presented of deaths of patients operated on in the III Department of Surgery, Medical Academy in Cracow, for acute appendicitis (AA). In the years 1980-1988 962 patients were operated on with preliminary diagnosis of AA which was confirmed intraoperatively in 749 cases. In the group of patients with AA confirmed intraoperatively 14 patients died (1.9%). The most frequent postoperative complications and, at the same time, the most important cause of death were purulent complications. In the paper a detailed analysis is presented of all cases of AA leading to death. It is stressed that advanced age and extensiveness of inflammatory changes are significant factors of high risk of death. |
