Incidental appendectomy in vaginal surgery.

We have analyzed 225 cases of incidental appendectomy performed during 2200 vaginal operations over a six-year period. The main vaginal procedures were 1700 hysterectomies and 500 colpotomies for tubal ligation, ovarian cystectomy and diagnostic procedures. Other than prolonging the operating time by about 15 minutes, there was no sign of increased morbidity or duration of hospital stay.
