Differential diagnosis of acute inflammatory diseases of the genitals and acute surgical pathology (often acute appendicitis) is still an urgent issue in emergency surgery. According to our data, gynecological diseases occurred in 4.8% of patients admitted to the clinic with suspected acute appendicitis. Any suspicion of gynecological disease requires a thorough examination of the patient and a detailed collection of her gynecological anamnesis. Of course, not every gynecological disease is difficult to diagnose. Sometimes the absence of clear signs of acute genital diseases and acute appendicitis leads to diagnostic errors and unwarranted laparotomies. At the same time, waiting tactics in patients with unclear clinical picture is fraught with disease progression and development of complications. Therefore, accurate and timely diagnostics will allow to exclude unnecessary laparotomies and prevent both pathological process progression and its complications.
