Abstract

75 patients underwent simultaneous appendectomy, when gall bladder, stomach or large bowel were chiefly operated. Complications of incision marks were observed in six cases, but only one of them being possibly due to appendectomy. Six common complications could not be explained by additional operation. Postoperative treatment was not extended. 5 patients died due to the severity of their main disease. Prophylactic or simultaneous appendectomy were conditionally recommended and subjected to a decision by a fully experienced surgeon.

Inflammatory bowel disease and environmental influences.

Some environmental factors have been established firmly as influences on the development of IBD, such as smoking and appendectomy. Other behaviors, such as oral contraceptive use and sugar intake, have been suggested as risk factors, but he data conflict sharply. The importance of other behaviors, such as breast-feeding, is even murkier with sharply divergent data. Some issues studied may not be factors in themselves but rather markers for other unidentified influences. The conflicting evidence in many of these studies may be clarified as specific genes are identified and the interplay between these environmental factors and genetic subtypes is investigated.
