dc.description.abstractA. study was carried out on 366 female patients admitted consecutively to Asir Central Hospital with clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis during the period between 1988 through 1991. In this study, 271 patients had histopathologically proven appendicitis for a diagnostic accuracy of 74%. Ninety-five (26%) patients did not have appendicitis, however, 27 (7.4%) of them had other disorders indicating surgical intervention. Consequently, 18.6% of the patients studied had negative laparotomy. This study showed insignificant (P > 0.05) relation between age, site of pain and its duration, presence of urinary symptoms, post-operative complications and hospita lization in one hand, and the final diagnosis on the other hand. The marital status, the presence of gynaecological symptoms, white blood cells count, neutrophils and lymphocytes percentages were, however, significantly related to the final diagnosis (P < 0.05). A conservative approach with in-hospital observation and repeated clinical examination of the doubted appendicitis cases are recommended so as to reduce the rate of the negative laparotomy with its considerable complications.en_US
