Controversy persists regarding the desirability--indeed, the permissibility--of elective incidental appendectomy at salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy. A study of 7500 surgical specimens submitted to a central laboratory by physicians working among the Igbos of Nigeria indicates that elective appendectomy is carried out more frequently with elective salpingectomy than with emergency salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy. However, an extensive review of the literature reveals that the latter procedure is relatively safe, and one that can be recommended provided certain requirements are met.
关于在异位妊娠输卵管切除术时进行选择性附带阑尾切除术是否可取——实际上是否可行——仍存在争议。一项针对在尼日利亚伊博族中工作的医生提交给一个中央实验室的7500份手术标本的研究表明，与异位妊娠急诊输卵管切除术相比，选择性输卵管切除术时更常进行选择性阑尾切除术。然而，对文献的广泛回顾显示，后一种手术相对安全，并且只要满足某些要求就可以推荐实施。
