OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the utility of laboratory ultrasonographic and Doppler ultrasonographic findings in the differentiation of simple and complicated appendicitis.
METHODS: A prospective study was conducted, including pediatric patients who underwent surgery with the diagnosis of appendicitis.
RESULTS: Fifty patients, who were found to have appendicitis on ultrasonographic examination, were included. The mean age was found to be 12.80 ± 3.67 years, with 30% female and 70% male. The patients were histopathologically divided into two groups: simple appendicitis (Group 1, 41 patients, 82%) and complicated appendicitis (Group 2, 9 patients, 18%). CRP (C-reactive protein) levels (p = 0.004) and periappendiceal fatty tissue thickness (PFI) (p < 0.005) were found to be statistically significantly higher in Group 2 compared to Group 1. The portal vein (PV) diameter and peak systolic velocity (PSV) values were significantly higher in the study group compared to the control group (p = 0.033, p = 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Doppler ultrasonographic examination did not significantly differentiate complicated from simple appendicitis. The CRP value is an independent risk factor in the diagnosis of complicated appendicitis, and the presence of a significant increase in mesenteric tissue thickness is one of the important criteria for differentiating complicated appendicitis from simple appendicitis.
