abstract: In a period of 5 years 3455 appendectomies were performed because of appendicitis. Acute appendicitis (i.e. gangrenous appendicitis, appendiceal abscess, perforated appendicitis) was found in 30% of all appendectomies. Histological finding, sex, age, symptoms, duration of illness until operation, technique of operation and postoperative complications were documented in a form suitable for computer input and analyzed. The lethality of appendectomy was 0.38%.
