Appendectomy remains the most common emergency surgery. With the lack of literature from Saudi Arabia regarding the treatment for appendix disorders, this study aimed to identify the common motives for appendectomy in Northern Saudi Arabia.
Data referring to be resected appendix patients who were diagnosed during the period from January 2018 to December 2018 were included in the present study. The diagnosis of the resected appendix was confirmed by conventional histopathology.
The most common cause for the appendectomy was acute appendicitis followed by gangrenous perforated appendicitis, chronic appendicitis, and lymphoid hyperplasia, representing 85/129(66%), 33/129(26%), 8/129(6%), and 3/129(2%), in this order.

阑尾切除术仍然是最常见的急诊手术。由于沙特阿拉伯缺乏关于阑尾疾病治疗的文献,本研究旨在确定沙特阿拉伯北部阑尾切除术的常见动机。
本研究纳入了2018年1月至2018年12月期间诊断为需切除阑尾的患者的数据。切除阑尾的诊断通过传统组织病理学证实。
阑尾切除术最常见的原因是急性阑尾炎,其次是坏疽性穿孔性阑尾炎、慢性阑尾炎和淋巴组织增生,依次占129例中的85例(66%)、33例(26%)、8例(6%)和3例(2%)。
