title: [Peculiarities of acute appendicitis in women].
abstract: A complete documentation of the clinical and operative findings and a comparison of these with the histologic diagnosis in nearly 900 appendectomy patients from a period of more than two years is presented. In this publication an account of the specific results of nearly 500 women is given. The influences of age, menstruation, and gynecologic illnesses are reported in detail. Sixty-five percent of all women were treated unnecessarily with appendectomy. However, the indications for this operation should not be limited on these grounds.
