The incidence of female sterility due to pelvic adhesions following appendectomy was evaluated. Two groups of women were investigated: the first group consisted of girls who underwent appendectomy under the age of ten. Of this group, we were able to detect 24 women of whom 9 were still single and 13 have delivered one or more children. The second group was selected from women in whom mechanical sterility was confirmed by laparoscopy or laparotomy. The rate of appendectomy in this group was found to be 29 percent compared to 7-10 percent in the general population. Seventy one percent of the women who underwent appendectomy were above the age of seventeen when operated. It is concluded that women undergoing appendectomy, particularly after adolescence, are at higher risk for subsequently developing mechanical sterility.
对阑尾切除术后因盆腔粘连导致女性不育的发生率进行了评估。研究了两组女性：第一组由十岁以下接受阑尾切除术的女孩组成。在这组中，我们找到了24名女性，其中9人仍单身，13人已生育一个或多个孩子。第二组是从经腹腔镜检查或剖腹手术确诊为机械性不育的女性中挑选出来的。该组阑尾切除术的发生率为29%，而普通人群中的发生率为7%-10%。接受阑尾切除术的女性中有71%在手术时年龄超过17岁。得出的结论是，接受阑尾切除术的女性，尤其是青春期后接受手术的女性，随后发生机械性不育的风险更高。
