title: [Evaluation of the basis for elective appendectomy in gynecologic laparotomy].
abstract: The usefulness of elective appendectomy in gynecological laparotomy has been discussed on the basis of data from 2157 operations. A high rate of pathology has been found in patients without any clinical manifestations including 56.6% inflammatory changes and 0.51% malignant neoplasmas. Elective appendectomy does not influence complications rate, duration of hospitalisation, excludes the need for future operation and may lower the costs of health care.
