A comparative assessment of effectiveness of various non-traditional and non-typical variants of appendectomy was made with using non-standard (non-classical) methods of treatment and peritonization of the vermiform stump developed by different authors for destructive forms of acute appendicitis complicated by inflammatory infiltration of the blind gut cupola and typhlitis. An analysis of results of using the proposed non-typical technical methods and techniques as well as an assessment of the authors' technique used in 43 patients suggests that the above variants of peritonization of the vermiform process stump should not be considered as competing. Each of the methods can be successfully used depending on the concrete clinical situations and for the corresponding indications as the most optimal method of choice or as an alternative of the classical variant of appendectomy in patients with acute destructive appendicitis complicated by inflammatory infiltration of the blind gut cupola and typhlitis.
