Based on the study of long-term results in 308 patients operated on for chronic and acute appendicitis and followed up for 1-2 years, it was revealed that the percentage of diagnostic errors remains high (according to our data, in chronic appendicitis in 24 % and in acute appendicitis in 10 % of cases) and testifies, on the one hand, to the insufficient quality of doctors' diagnostics, on the other, to the difficulties of recognition, due to the variety of complaints, an unclear clinical picture and due to the lack of objective symptoms for recognizing appendicitis.
