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 most important step for appendicitis is the obstruction the eppeniceal lumen. Our study was aimed to study the histological parameter associated with appendicitis. This study was included 55 of appendix specimens, which were resects. These samples were collected from teaching Ramadi hospital. Gross examination for diameter of lumen and thickness of mucosa was performed and then the samples were fixed in 10℅ formalin for histological examination. The relation of age and sex with appendicitis was studied in this work. This study was recorded increase in thickness of mucosa(Mean=1.4mm) and decrease in diameter of lumen(Mean=1mm). increase incidence of appendicitis between males and females(50.9/49%).The age of the patients ranged from (8-45)years with mean (21.4).Histological study 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 warm such as Enterobious vermicularis within lumen. From these results we found the ratio of incidence of appendicitis increase in males than females and ensured that by increase the histological parameters and pathological changes compare with normal.
