Is negative appendectomy becoming history? Ten-year results from a tertiary center

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to determine the rate of negative appendectomy between patients who underwent surgery with a pre-diagnosis of acute appendicitis and to evaluate the clinical, laboratory, and imaging parameters associated with negative appendectomy. Materials and Methods: Between the years 2014-2024, over the age of 18 who underwent laparoscopic or open technique operation with a pre-diagnosis of acute appendicitis in the Ege University General Surgery Department were retrospectively analyzed. Based on postoperative pathological results, patients were divided into two groups: acute appendicitis (AA) and negative appendectomy (NA). Results: Of the 2330 patients included, 58.2% (1355) were male and 41.8% (975) were female, with a mean age of 39.78±16.49 years. The negative appendectomy rate was determined as 2.1%. The proportion of female patients was higher in the NA group(p=0.001). Regarding imaging modalities, the use of ultrasonography (USG) alone was associated with a higher rate of negative appendectomy(p<0.001). The use of computed tomography (CT) reduced the risk of negative appendectomy by 98.1% (OR:0.019; p<0.001), while the combined use of CT and USG further reduced the risk by up to 98.5% (OR:0.015; p<0.001). The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was higher in the AA group compared to the NA group(p=0.001) and remained an independent predictive factor in multivariate analysis(p=0.035). Conclusion: Female gender and reliance solely on USG increase the risk of negative appendectomy. The NLR was identified as an independent biomarker for predicting negative appendectomy. The findings support that integrating clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and laboratory parameters plays a critical role in reducing unnecessary surgical interventions in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.
