ABSTRACT:

Appendectomy is the most common surgical procedure performed in emergency surgery. Appendectomy is still being performed by both open (OA) and laparoscopic (LA) methods because of lack of consensus about the most appropriate technique. We evaluated the outcomes of routine laparoscopy and laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) in patients with suspected appendicitis. This is a retrospective study of the outcomes of patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy compared with outcomes for patients undergoing open appendectomy (OA) during the time that LA came into use. routine laparoscopy and LA for suspected acute appendicitis is safe and is associated with a significantly shorter hospital stay. Other intra-abdominal pathologies can also be diagnosed more accurately with the laparoscopic approach.
