[Causes of suppurative complications after appendectomy].
The causes of purulent complications in 9,518 patients after appendectomy were studied. The total percentage of purulent complications was 8.0 (6.4 among males and 10.1 among females). It is shown that the form of appendicitis (phlegmonous in 2.0% of males and in 2.0% of females and perforating in 17.7% and 44.9%, respectively) and the time from the onset of the disease to the operation (less than 6 hours in 4.0% of males and in 6.1% of females; more than 48 hours in 11.7% and 18.8%, respectively) have an effect on the frequency of purulent complications. The authors revealed a correlation between the frequency of purulent complications and some factors (the time spent by the patients in the clinic before the operation, surgical team with an incomplete staff, insufficient anesthesia, insufficient operative approach, irrational use of gauze tampons and antibiotics.
