Abstract

Something over 12,000 appendectomies are performed in Sweden annually. Preoperative diagnosis and outcome were the subject of a survey carried out in 1991. Based on analysis of the results and a review of recently published reports, the article presents proposals for quality markers in appendectomy: the frequency of healthy appendixes operated, of perforated appendixes, and of postoperative infection.
