[Pelvis abscess as a complication of acute appendicitis].

The work analyzes case histories of 19 patients with pelvis abscesses after appendectomy. The overwhelming majority of them had destructive forms of appendicitis. The authors make a conclusion that the main cause of these complications is defects of operation (insufficient drainage of the abdominal cavity), groundless operation under local anesthesia, refusal of drainage of the abdominal cavity despite indications for it or errors in the drainage technique. The main method of the treatment of pelvic abscesses is operation.
