title: [Ultrasonic diagnosis of an acute appendicitis and its complications].
abstract: Retrospective analysis of the examination results in 292 patients with an acute appendicitis (AA) was conducted. There were 184 (63%) of patients operated on, for AA--168 (57.5%). Possibilities of ultrasonic investigation in the AA diagnosis were estimated. Due to introduction of this method it become possible to escape the operation performance in 58 (13.7%) of patients and to reduce the frequency of idle appendectomy for simple AA as twice. Broad application of ultrasonic investigation in urgent surgery would permit to establish the AA diagnosis correctly and substantially and to determine the tactic of patients treatment.
