Abstract: (998 Views)
Appendicitis after age 40 is unusual, and appendicitis two days after laparoscopic hysterectomy
is very rare and has not been reported to date. We describe a 44-year-old woman
who had abdominal pain two days after laparoscopic hysterectomy. The pathology
report indicated early appendicitis and the pain disappeared after appendectomy. In our
opinion, the cause of appendicitis may have been related to the use of monopolar and
bipolar coagulation during laparoscopic hysterectomy, although the coincidence of appendicitis
and laparoscopic surgery may be accidental.
