Abstract AR
عندما تكون الزائدة الدودية قد أصيبت بالغرغرينا أو أنها انفجرت.
هدفنا من هذه الدراسة هو معرفة إمكانية حدوث التهاب الجرح لدى المريض بعد عملية الزائدة الدودية المصابة بالغرغرينا أو التي انفجرت، و البحث عن إمكانية حل المشكلة، و التي تؤدي عادة لإبقاء المريض مدة أطول بالمستشفى و زيادة تكلفة العلاج.
و قد أجرينا بحثنا على الحالات التي حدثت سابقا و أجريت لها عملية الزائدة الدودية.
ثم قمنا باختيار الحالات التي كانت بها الزائدة الدودية مصابة بالغرغرينا أو التي انفجرت.
وجدنا أن لدينا 28 % من هذه الحالات قد حدث لها التهاب الجرح بعد العملية و أن هذه النسبة ضمن حدود المقبول طبيا.
و كذلك قمنا بمراجعة المراجع الطبية للحصول على الطرق التي تساعدنا على التقليل أو تخطي هذه المضاعفات.
Abstract EN
Wound infection is the commonest complication post-appendectomy especially in perforated and gangrenous appendicitis.
Our aim is to study the incidence of wound infection in cases of perforated or gangrenous appendicitis, and search for the possible solution to overcome this post operative complication, which leads to lengthy hospital stay and increases the cost of treatment.
We conducted a retrospective study for all the registered cases of appendicitis then, selected cases of perforated and gangrenous appendicitis.
Prevalence of wound infection in this group was 28 %, which is within the accepted range.
We have reviewed the literature searching for the methods to help us to avoid or decrease this complication.
In conclusion we found that there is no use of practicing delayed primary wound closure for perforated or gangrenous appendicitis, but laparscopic appendectomy can dramatically decrease the chance of wound infection and shorten duration of surgery in expert hand by improving instruments and techniques which can decrease the incidence of intraabdominal abscess.
