Journal Title: New Indian Journal of Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Acute appendicitis is one of the most common diseases, needing surgical intervention at its time of presentation. A histologic basis on diagnosis is essential in further workup and management of the patient in view of prognosis of the patient. Resection of the appendix whether via an open or laparoscopic approach is a very common procedure. Patients who were clinically and sonologically diagnosed with acute appendicitis, were taken up for this study. The resected specimen is sent for routine Histopathological Examination(HPE). The Histopathologic data of such patients were studied in PSG hospitals from the period of January 2015 to December 2016. 158 appendicectomy specimens were recovered of the said duration and amongst which 85(53.79%) werefrom males and 73(46.2%) from females. Perforated appendix (0.6%), lymphoid hyperplastic changes (52.38%) was seen at the maximum in the age group of 20 and below and a maximum feature of acute appendicitis (53.12%) was seen in the age group of 21- 40 years.
