Analysis was made of 436 specimens of appendectomy in the Caracas University Hospital during the year 1.990. Ages of the patients ranged between 9 months and 79 years (average age: 21 years). 236 were males and 200 females. The pathology found most frequently was the acute inflammatory processes, followed by secondary reactive changes to other entities, many of which were unspecified (e.g. pelvic inflammatory disease) and other specific (such as infestation by parasites) less frequently were found tumoral processes such as mucocele, carcinoid tumor and those which involved another portion of the digestive apparatus and which secondarily affect the appendix.
对1990年加拉加斯大学医院的436例阑尾切除术标本进行了分析。患者年龄在9个月至79岁之间（平均年龄：21岁）。男性236例，女性200例。最常见的病理情况是急性炎症过程，其次是对其他病变的继发性反应性改变，其中许多未明确（如盆腔炎），其他特定病变（如寄生虫感染）较少见，肿瘤性病变如黏液囊肿、类癌肿瘤以及累及消化道其他部分并继发影响阑尾的病变则更为少见。
