[Preventive appendectomy--pro and con].
Abstract
The pros and cons of incidental appendectomy on the occasion of gynecological laparotomies are discussed. It is possible to prevent the well known morbidity and mortality of appendicitis later on by removing the appendix. The rate of complications is elevated only insignificantly. Incidental appendectomy is proposed under special preconditions.
