Abstract

Acute appendicitis is the commonest cause of acute abdomen requiring surgical intervention. However, this clinical condition is sometimes managed conservatively till interval Appedicectomy is performed. Moreover there is variable reports of post‐operative complications between emergency and delayed interval open Appedicectomy .In recent times laparoscopy is known to further reduce the complication rate. Although, laparoscopic approach which is not the gold standard is not done in our centre the present retrospective analysis will highlight the complication profile in the open technique and may opt for alternative approach i.e., laparoscopy. To Compare the post‐operative complications of open emergency appedicectomy with that of interval appedicectomy. This retrospective study was conducted at department of general surgery of Tripura Medical College and Dr. BRAM Teaching Hospital, Agartala, Tripura. A total of 40 patients were selected for this study. Immediate post‐operative complication like Post‐operative fever, ileus and local wound infection were more in the emergency appendicectomy group compared to interval appendicectomy. However none of the patient reported faecal fistula in the current study This retrospective study result indicated that Appendicectomy on emergency basis can be done safely with acceptable complication. However the potential complication with emergency Appendicectomy should be counselled to the patients well before hand.
