The experience with 102 relaparotomies in children for complications following the operations for acute appendicitis is analyzed. The repeated operation should be a minimal one, as to its volume, and sparing in character.

The authors analyzed 2009 appendicitis case records for the period from 1964 to 1973. In a sea climate region an evident season distribution of the apendicitis morbidity was found, with the rise of the incidence rate in January, March and April. The rise of the appendicitis incidence rate during the periods of vast fluctuations of air temperature, increase of air humidity and decrease of actual duration of sun radiance was established. The rise of the incidence of acute appendicitis was also noted during the months of a great and extremely great magnetic storms.

A case of torsion of a normal right ovary and tube in an 8-year-old child is presented. True infarction of the adnexa can be prevented only by considering this diagnosis early in the course of right lower quadrant pain. It is recommended that a routine exploration of the pelvis be carried out in any patient explored for acute appendicitis in whom that diagnosis cannot be made at the operating table.

In an investigation of 68 consecutive patients over the 60 operated on for acute appendicitis in 1969--1972 the symptoms and signs did not differ notably from those in younger patients. However, the disease was more advanced in the elderly patients with perforation of the appendix in 49%. Postoperative complications occurred in about one third of the series, but were never fatal. Use of broad-spectrum antibiotics (ampicillin) is recommended. The investigation showed that it is possible to reduce the mortality from acute appendicitis in elderly patients to a level comparable to that in younger ones.

The authors present the results of the studies of the intensity of plasma super-weak chemical luminescence for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (35 cases) and various forms of cholecystitis (131 cases). The increase of the intensity level of the blood plasma chemical luminescence has been found in all the forms of cholecystitis and in appendicitis. With the improvement of the patients condition the indices of the luminescence intensity start to normalize. On the grounds of their observations the authors consider that the use of this method in surgical practice will provide information on an early development of complications before their evident clinical manifestations occur.

After a brief review of the literature, 42 cases of Douglas-pouch peritonitis are described, with particular regard to those cases arosen as a complication of acute appendicitis. Symptomatology and anatomo-pathological pictures are carefully described and the most likely pathogenetic causes are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the surgical techniques used.

A comparative analysis of postoperative lethality in acute and chronic cholecystitis, acute appendicitis and cancer of the stomach together with the results of biochemical and morphological studies of the liver are covered here. A direct correlation of postoperative lethality in cholecystitis with the presence and stage of concomitant cholangiohepatitis has been found.

In 236 out of 11,150 (1.8%) patients operated upon for acute appendicitis some other acute surgical and gynecological diseases were revealed. In this group of patients the vermiform process either seemed to be unchanged or its changes were considered to be secondary ones (reaction to an inflammation in adjacent organs). Histological study of vermiform processes proved the abscence of inflammatory alterations only in 35 cases. In the rest of patients either chronic or acute inflammatory process was found. The conclusion has been drawn that in case when diagnosis of acute appendicitis is not confirmed during operation, appendectomy does not produce any unfavourable effect upon the postoperative clinical course and outcome of the main disease and should be considered as a compulsory element of a surgical intervention.

A special study of the character and sensitivity of microbic flora of the abdominal cavity exudate in acute appendicitis was carried out upon 192 patients. The predominance of infection caused by colibacillus (44%) and correlation between the severity of the inflammatory process and the presence of the agent in the exudate were proved. The identification of the sensitivity of the cultured microbes to the most widely used antibiotics allows to recommend a combined use of the preparations of neomycin sulfate group and synthetic penicillins for the treatment of complicated appendicitis.
