Corrigendum to “Transvaginal Appendectomy: A Systematic Review”

الملخص EN

Previously our systemic review about the transvaginal appendectomies was published in this journal [1].

As we mentioned in our review, “transvaginal appendectomy during vaginal hysterectomy was first described in 1949 and, at that time, it was performed by the gynecologists with the aim of incidental appendectomy.

Those studies did not include the acute appendicitis cases and their primary objective was the treatment of gynecological pathology, not the appendix.” After that we continued as follows: “in 2008, the first transvaginal appendectomy without vaginal hysterectomy was reported by Palanivelu and coworkers from India and after a short period of time three more cases were reported one from Germany and two from Georgia.”
