862 patients underwent appendectomy for suspected acute appendicitis at the 3rd Surgical Department of the Semmelweis University, Budapest during the period from 1976-1985. In 111 cases neither the histologic examination nor the macroscopic finding at operation confirmed the inflammation. We considered these cases as "chronic appendicitis". The postoperative mortality rate was 0.8%. Surgical complications arose in altogether 10 patients. In the remaining 751 patients the mortality rate was 0.5% with 20 complications. The incidence of surgical complications was not significantly decreased in cases with "acute appendicitis" therefore we do not emphasize prophylactic appendectomy.
