Effect of histological parameters of appendicitis and related with age and sex

Abstract

Acute appendicitis is the most common acute surgical condition of the abdomen. The mostimportant step for appendicitis is the obstruction the eppeniceal lumen. Our study was aimed to studythe histological parameter associated with appendicitis. This study was included 55 of appendixspecimens, which were resects. These samples were collected from teaching Ramadi hospital. Grossexamination for diameter of lumen and thickness of mucosa was performed and then the samples werefixed in 10℅ formalin for histological examination. The relation of age and sex with appendicitis wasstudied in this work. This study was recorded increase in thickness of mucosa(Mean=1.4mm) anddecrease in diameter of lumen(Mean=1mm). increase incidence of appendicitis between males andfemales(50.9/49%).The age of the patients ranged from (8-45)years with mean (21.4).Histologicalstudy was revealed increase infiltration of white blood cell within muscularis mucosa. Congestion,destruction of mucosa, hyperplasia of lymph nodules, obstruction of lumen with found some of warmsuch as Enterobious vermicularis within lumen. From these results we found the ratio of incidence ofappendicitis increase in males than females and ensured that by increase the histological parametersand pathological changes compare with normal
