摘 要:This was a prospective study from January 2019 to December 2019 in the reference health center of municipality II of the Bamako district. During this period, we operated on 73 patients for acute appendicitis, including 51 men and 22 women, for a sex ratio of 1.7. The average age was 25.5 with extremes of 1 and 40 years. Abdominal pain was the main reason for consultation. The physical signs were dominated by the positivity of the Blumberg sign in 97.3% of the cases, the defense of the right iliac fossa in 79.5%, and the Rovsing sign in 61.6% of the cases. This physical examination made it possible to make the diagnosis in the majority of cases. In the face of some doubtful cases, we requested an abdominal ultrasound. Locoregional anesthesia was the most used anesthesia technique at 72.6%. The classic anterograde appendectomy with stump burial by Mac Burney was the most commonly used technique, respectively. The postoperative consequences were straightforward in 87.6%. Anatomopathology examination was performed on 69 surgical specimens and 4 appendectomy specimens were not subjected to an anatomo-pathological examination. Phlegmonous appendicitis was the most common at 63% of cases. Appendicitis remains the most common surgical emergency in a community setting. The early diagnosis and the speed of treatment guarantee improvements in the prognosis. The treatment is mainly surgical.
