title: [Evaluating histologic findings after appendectomy].
abstract: The results of the histopathologic examination of 262 appendices after incidental appendectomy were reviewed. Only 17.5% of the histologies were regarded as normal. Fibrosis, obliteration and chronic appendicitis were described frequently. It is discussed whether these findings belong only to the normal histologic appearance of appendices in more advanced age.
