Clinical scoring systems, biochemical markers, imaging modalities, and second opinion from other specialties like internal medicine, gynae and obstetric have been introduced to substantiate the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and thereby decreases the negative appendectomy. Also it was higher in females of reproductive age group 77 (30.4%) than in non-reproductive age group 23 (27.9%).Ĭonclusion: In our study negative appendectomy in females of reproductive age groups was found to be higher than expected. Overall negative appendectomies were 219 (19.4%) and were prominent in females 100 (29.5%) than males 119 (15.1%). Histopathological examination revealed cases of acute appendicitis 374 (33.2%), acute appendicitis with peri-appendicitis 478 (42.5%), fibrous obliteration 28 (2.5%) and parasitic infestation 7 (0.6%). The mean age was calculated to be 24.43 ± 12.42 years ranging from 2-94 years. Results: Out of total 1126 reported cases, 787 (69.9%) were males and 339 (30.1%) were females. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 22. The biodata of patients was retrieved from the database. Methodology: A total of 1126 appendectomy specimens were enrolled irrespective of age and gender. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Pathology, Diagnostic and Research Laboratory, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Hyderabad, Pakistan, from January 2018 to December 2019. MRI can also demonstrate absence of the 8th nerve, which precludes cochlear implantation. Therefore, a combination of both modalities can be used. MRI, on the other hand, can show a fluid-filled cochlea while CT depicts small calcifications. Objective: To compare the negative appendectomy in the females of reproductive and non-reproductive age groups. MRI can demonstrate fibrous obliteration of the cochlea, something which is not appreciated on CT.
