OBJECTIVE: To establish whether laparoscopic incidental appendectomy in gynecological diseases is related to @entity260 . STUDY DESIGN: This study was performed prospectively in 443 @entity1 who underwent laparoscopic surgery without appendectomy (n = 222) or with appendectomy (n = 221). On postoperative day 1, drain fluid was cultured in all @entity1 . All data were compared using Student's t test and   2 test. RESULTS: Bacteria grew in cultures of 93 @entity1 (21.0%): 38 (17.1%) in the nonappendectomy group and 55 (24.9%) in the appendectomy group (p < 0.01). There were statistical differences in the incidence of @entity260 , and post-operative laboratory changes for percentage of neutrophils (p < 0.01) and @entity1851 (p < 0.01). Thirteen genera of bacteria grew in the drain culture. The 9 commensal organisms of the @entity1 intestine were identified in all @entity1 , each 8 genera of bacteria in both groups. The surgical type did not affect the postoperative drain culture results. CONCLUSION: Postoperative bacterial growth and complications were increased in the laparoscopic incidental appendectomy group. Infections with bacteria from the intestine in both groups were also related to contamination during surgery and postoperative care.
