It concerned all patients operated on for appendicular abscess in the department. <strong>Results:</strong> 75 cases of appendicular abscess were collected, which represented 5.76% of surgical emergencies and 25% of acute appendicitis. The average age of the patients was 29 years. The male sex represented 67% of our patients with a sex ratio of 2. The average consultation time was 5 days. Abdominal pain was noted in all patients. It was localized in the right iliac fossa in 80% (n = 60) and diffuse in 2.7% of cases (n = 2). It was accompanied by nausea and vomiting in 93% of cases (n = 70), urinary disorders in 20% (n = 15), fever in 94% (n = 71), cessation of materials and gas in 1.33% (n = 1). Abdominal ultrasound was performed in 86% (n = 65). It made it possible to suggest a peri-appendicular effusion. Biological examination revealed a neutrophilic hyperleukocytosis greater than 20,000/mm3 in 47 patients, or 63%. All the patients were operated on by laparotomy (Marc Burney or midline subumbilical) under general anesthesia. The length of hospitalization was 6 days. We have not recorded any deaths. Morbidity was 8% (n = 6) represented by parietal suppuration. The postoperative course was straightforward in 92% of cases (n = 69). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Appendicular abscess is a frequent medico-surgical emergency, the prognosis of which depends greatly on early diagnosis and adequate and immediate management.展开更多

It’s a common surgical disease that can be presented with a wide variety of atypical clinical features. Clinical Case: We report a case of a 7-year-old female patient admitted for abdominal pain dating back 20 days, radiological exploration suggested a right ovarian teratoma, while laparoscopic exploration has objective an appendicular abscess. Conclusion: This case has allowed us to clarify an atypical case of complicated appendicitis, and also to show the contribution of laparoscopy.展开更多

Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2017 in the General Surgery De-partment of Gabriel Touré University Hospital in all patients with appen-dicular abscess. Results: In 13 years, 1420 cases of acute appendicitis have been reported, including 105 cases of appendicular abscess (7.4%). Mean age of the patients was 32 years with extremes of 16 years and 70 years. Abdominal pain and fever were present in all patients. Pain sat in the right iliac fossa in 73.3% and was epigastric in 11.4%. In almost all cases abdominal defense was present (97.1%). There was generalized abdominal contracture in 2.8% of cases. Average duration of evolution was 27 days with extremes of 1 day and 60 days. Ultrasonography was performed in 42.6% of cases and found peri-appendicular effusion in 29 cases (27.6%). 90 incisions were made by incision of Mac Burney, 8 by median umbilical, 7 by midline above and below umbilical. The amount of fluid aspirated was greater than 100 cc in 47 patients. We performed an appendectomy with appendicular stump burying followed by washing plus drainage of the abdominal cavity in 65 patients. Morbidity rate was 14.3%. No deaths were recorded. Average duration of hospitalization was 6.5 days with extremes of 2 days and 26 days.展开更多
