    ANATOMY AND FUNCTION

    Develops as protuberance of the terminal portion of thececum.

    the growth rate of the cecum exceeds that of the

    appendix, displacing the appendix medially toward theileocecal valve. Appendix / cecum relationship:

    the relation of the base of the appendix to the cecum isconstant, while the tip can be found:

    1- retrocecal 2-pelvic 3-subcecal4- peri-ileal 5- right pericolic position Length range 1-30 cm with average 6-9. Immunological organ that actively participate in

    secretion of Ig (IgA) and component of GALT, but its

    functional is not esential.

    ACUTE APPENDICITIS

    Incidence 0.1-0.2%

    Appendectomy for appendicitis is the most

    common performed emergency operation in theworld.

    Disease of young with 40 % of cases beingbetween 10-24 Yr

    A.A:EITIOLOGY AND PATHOGENESIS

    Obstruction of the lumen is the dominant causal factor.The obstructing object can be:

    *fecalith ; the most common

    *lymphoid tissue hypertrophy

    *inspisated barium from previous study

    *tumors

    *seeds

    The proximal obstruction of the appendiceal lumen producesa closed-loop obstruction, and continuing normal secretion bythe appendiceal mucosa rapidly produces distention.

    with the progressive distention, the venous return andsubsequently the arteriolar inflow compromise and ellipsoidal

    infarcts develop in the antimesenteric border. As distention,bacterial invasion, compromise of vascular supply, andinfarction progress, perforation occurs, usually through one ofthe infarcted areas on the antimesenteric border. Perforationgenerally occurs just beyond the point of obstruction ratherthan at the tip because of the effect of diameter onintraluminal tension.

    A.A:BACTERIOLOGY

    Bacteria cultured in cases of appendicitis are similar tothose seen in other colonic infection.

    The principal organisms seen are E. coli and Bacteroidfragilis.

    A.A:CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

    Symptoms Pain: begins as visceral diffuse steady moderately severe

    periumblical pain, sometimes accompanied by intermittent

    crampy pain. Then, shifting of to localized pain in RLQmanifest the somatic component. Somatic pain depends onthe location of the tip of the appendix.

    LLQ LLQ painretrocecal flank or back painpelvic suprapubic painretroileal testicular pain

    Anorexia: nearly always Vomiting: once or twice Obstibation: prior to the onset of the pain. Some might c/o

    diarrhea.

    A.A:CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

    Signs: VS : minimally changed by uncomplicated appendix. If not

    think of either complicated appendicitis or other diagnosis.

    Pt prefers to stay in R thigh flexion position. McBurneys point tenderness and rebound tenderness.

    Rovsings sign

    Cutaneous hyperesthesia T10,11,12.

    Psoas sign and obturator sign. Guarding and rigidity appear with more severe inflammatory

    process.

    Retrocecal : tenderness more in the flank.

    A.A:IMAGING STUDY

    Plain X ray: not helpful*non specific abnormal gas pattern.*fecalith if present id highly suggestive of the diagnosis.

    CXR: r/o referred pain from lower lobe pneumonia. Barium enema and radioactive labeled leukocyte scan : filing

    of the appendix excludes the diagnosis, otherwiseinsignificant.

    U/S:

    *enlarged diameter, presence of fecalith, wall thickening andperiappendicular fluid.*normal: exclude the diagnosis.*not visualized: inconclusive study.

    CT: dilatation, wall thickening, thick mesoappendix, arrowhead sign.

    ALVARADO SCALE

    9-10: almost certain appendicitis and should go to OR.

    7-8: high likelihood of appendicitis, imaging study. 5-6: compatible but not diagnostic, CT scan is

    appropriate.

    0-4: extremely unlikely.

    A.A:APPENDICEAL RUPTURE

    Overall rate is 25.8%

    Higher rates in children < 5 (45%) and pt > 65 (51%).

    Suspect if:*fever > 102

    *WBC > 18

    In majority of cases ,rupture is contained and pt display

    localized tenderness. Generalized peritonitis occurswhen the walling-off process is ineffective.

    A.A:APPENDICITIS IN PREGNANCY

    1:2000 Pregnancies.

    More frequent during 1st and 2nd trimesters.

    Appendix displaced laterally and superiorly.

    Less frequent rebound and guarding. WBC > normal pregnancy level ( 15-20 ).

    U/S: if equivocal, laparoscopy can be done esp early in pregnancy.

    Any operation has 10-15% premature labor risk.

    A.A:APPENDICITIS IN AIDS

    Incidence 0.5%

    No absolute leukocytosis.

    High risk of rupture (which can be related to delay in presentation).

    Low CD4 correlate with increased risk of rupture. Consider opportunistic infection in D.D ( CMV,kaposi,TB,lymphoma).

    If the pt presents with classic symptoms and signs: appendectomy.

    When diarrhea is the prominent symptom: c-scope may beconsidered.

    Equivocal presentation: CT

    A.A:TREATMENT

    Prepare pt for operation:

    Hydration.

    Correct electrolytes disturbances.

    Address pre-existing cardiac,renal and pulmonary issues. Abx coverage for 24 hrs in simple appendectomy. In case of

    perforation continue abx till pt afebrile and normal WBC.

    31/39

    Open appendectomy:

    Incision:

    *McBurney incision or Rocky Davis incision.

    *if abscess suspected: laterally displaced incision to allowretroperitoneal drainage.

    *if diagnosis in doubt: lower midline incision

    Taeniae coli converge at the base of the appendix.

    Divide mesoappendix and mobilize the appendix with ligation of theappendiceal artery.

    Stump can be simply ligated or ligated with inversion.

    Prognosis

    Mortality rate is 0.06% in unruptured appendix.

    3% in case of rupture.

    15% in case of rupture in elderly

    CHRONIC APPENDICITIS

    Long lasting pain and less intense than that of acute appendicitis.

    Normal WBC count

    CT generally nondiagnostic.

    Appendectomy is curative in 82-93% of pt. many of those whosesymptoms are not cured or recur are ultimately diagnosed withCrohns.

  • 7/31/2019 is Power Point Bgs

    35/39

    Appendiceal parasites: Ascaris lumbricoides is the most common.

    Enterobius vermicularis, Strongyloides stercoralis, Echinococcus

    granulosis. Anti helminth showed follow recovery from appendectomy.

    Incidental appendectomy: Generally neither clinically nor economically appropriate.

    It should performed under special circumstances:*children about to undergo chemotherapy.

    *disables who can not describe or react normally to abdominal pain.

    *Crohns pt in whom the cecum is free of macroscopic disease.

    *travelers to remote places with no access to medical or surgical

    care.

    TUMORSCarcinoid:

    Appendix is the most common GIT site.

    Rarely associated with carcinoid syndrome ( 2.9 % of cases ).

    Intraoperative finding of firm, yellow, bulbar mass in the appendix.

    Less than 1 cm: simple appendectomy is sufficient.

    With extension into mesoappendix or tumor larger than 1.5 cm:RHC

    Adenocarcinoma:

    3 histological type: mucinous, colonic, and adnenocarcinoma.

    Most mode of presentation is acute appendicitis, but may alsopresent with ascites or palpable mass, or may be discoveredincidentally.

    RHC is the recommended treatment.

    Mucocele: Lead to progressive enlargement of the appendix.

    4 histological types: retention cysts, mucosal hyperplasia,

    cystadenoma, cystadenocarcinoma. Benign etiology: simple appendectomy.

    Pseudomyxoma peritonei:

    *diffuse collections of gelatinous fluid are associated with mucinousimplants on peritoneal surfaces and omentum.

    *caused by neoplastic mucous-secreting cells within the peritoneumwith the appendix being the site of origin for most cases.

    *CT is the preferred imaging modality.

    *surgical debulking is the mainstay of treatment and appendectomyroutinely performed. Hysterectomy and bilateral salpingio-oopheorectomy is performed in women.

    39/39

    Lymphoma: Extremely uncommon.

    Non-Hodgkins, Burkitts, and leukemia.

    Usually present as acute appendicitis. Appendiceal diameter 2.5cm or surrounding soft tissue thickening are suspicious.

    If confined to appendix: appendectomy.

    Extension to cecum or mesentery: RHC.

    A postoperative staging workup is indicated prior to adjuvanttherapy.
