	Mr. Basil Ammori
		This term refers to the removal of the appendix (appendicectomy) using keyhole surgery instead of an open operation.
		The appendix is a small, finger-shaped pouch that is located at the cecum (the junction between the large and small intestines).
		In addition, the laparoscopic approach is associated with considerably less formation of adhesions betwen the intestine and the abdomen; these adhesions may cause obstruction of the bowel in some patients, and may account for recurrent and chonic abdominal pains after open appendicectomy.

		Another finding was a decline in the practice of incidental appendicectomy, although this procedure continued at a relatively high rate in non-metropolitan hospitals.
		It is likely that the fall in appendicectomy rates is because of more accurate diagnosis, possibly associated with the use of ultrasound examination, computed tomography and laparoscopy, and to a change in surgical attitudes to avoid "unnecessary" operations.
		Incidental appendicectomy was clearly overdone in the past, but it is justifiable in younger patients and should not be abandoned.

	Appendicectomy and ulcerative colitis
		A case-control study was conducted, comparing appendicectomy rates between 110 patients with UC (group 1) and 136 patients attending an orthopaedic clinic free from UC (group 2).
		The information obtained included age, sex, history of appendicectomy (including evidence of a right iliac fossa scar), date of appendicectomy, history of ulcerative colitis and the date of onset of colitic symptoms.
		One of 110 patients (0.9%) with UC underwent an appendicectomy before the onset of the disease; a 33-year-old man who had appendicectomy for clinical appendicitis 7 years before the onset of the disease.

		Appendicectomy is the treatment of choice and invariably has a low morbidity and mortality.
		Laparoscopic appendicectomy has been established over the last decade as a safe and reasonable alternative to open surgery in the treatment of acute appendicitis in children.

		Among a total of 2027 non-incidental appendicectomies for suspected appendicitis performed in 1994-1999, 30 patients with Albanian names were matched (for age, sex, time of operation and hospital) to 120 patients with Greek names.
		We identified 30 appendicectomies performed on patients with verified Albanian names during the period 1994-1999 (n = 2 in 1994, n = 2 in 1995, n = 1 in 1996, n = 6 in 1997, n = 9 in 1998, n = 10 in 1999).
		Although there are other studies that show immigrants having higher rates of appendicectomies [10], no significant differences have been discerned in the rates of the negative appendicectomies in minority communities [13].

		The authors reviewed the use of microbiological testing in emergency appendicectomy within their own hospital to assess the contribution of swabs taken during surgery to subsequent patient management.

		In the 88 open appendicectomies there were 34 cases where an intra-operative swab was taken and sent for microbiological analysis.

		If a mass is present, the incision is made over the mass; otherwise, the incision is made over MacBurney's point, one third of the way from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the umbilicus; this represents the position of the base of the appendix (the position of the tip is variable).

	Health Report - 2 December 2002 - Appendix removal delays onset of inflammatory bowel disease and lessens symptoms
		Graham Radford-Smith: Well in the UC population, again we clearly demonstrated there was a significantly lower appendicectomy rate in the UC population, so the appendicectomy rate in the 307 patients with ulcerative colitis with 6.8% compared to the age, sex and smoking matched controls, which was 23.1%.
		The other thing they found was that if a person went on to develop inflammatory bowel disease after an appendicectomy, their condition was either significantly milder or came on later in life.
		There had been two previous studies which are really essentially case reports, one from Japan which was just a single patient who had an appendicectomy when he presented with his first attack of ulcerative colitis and at the time of publication of that article he had been in remission for three years post his appendicectomy.

		Two hundred and fifty patients were admitted to a prospective randomized trial of single dosage prophylaxis against wound infection after appendicectomy.
		In cases with a gangrenous or perforated appendix the infection rate in controls was 78 per cent; this was reduced to 44 per cent by a single dose of clindamycin.Cefazolin significantly reduced the number of aerobic organisms isolated from wound infections, but did not significantly reduce the incidence of wound infection.
		We conclude that anaerobic organisms are more important than faecal aerobic organisms in the pathogenesis of wound infection after appendicectomy.

		A history of recurrent or persisting abdominal pain was reported by conservatively treated patients in 23%, by patients after negative appendicectomy in 14%, by patients after perforated appendicitis in 11% and by patients after ulcerophlegmoneus appendicitis in 6%.
		It is concluded that negative appendicectomy is not a harmless procedure for it is frequently followed by complications, even severe ones with recurrent need for surgery.
		Since negative appendicectomy is an avoidable procedure, our study suggests that the number of unnecessary operations should be diminished by restrictive indication for appendicectomy.
