In this study, 271 patients had histopathologically proven appendicitis for a diagnostic accuracy of 74%. Ninety-five (26%) patients did not have appendicitis, however, 27 (7.4%) of them had other disorders indicating surgical intervention. Consequently, 18.6% of the patients studied had negative laparotomy. This study showed insignificant (P > 0.05) relation between age, site of pain and its duration, presence of urinary symptoms, post-operative complications and hospitalization in one hand, and the final diagnosis on the other hand. The marital status, the presence of gynaecological symptoms, white blood cells count, neutrophils and lymphocytes percentages were, however, significantly related to the final diagnosis (P < 0.05). A conservative approach with in-hospital observation and repeated ...
