The aim of the study to determine the main causes of destructive forms of acute appendicitis (AA) based on the analysis of quantitative characteristics of the pathology in children of Vinnytsia region in the period from 2005 to 2018.
Materials and methods. To implement the study, a retrospective analysis of 980 medical records of patients treated at the Vinnytsia Regional Clinical Hospital with destructive forms of AA in the period 2005-2018. The age of children was from 1.5 to 18 years.
