Authors :

Abstract :
Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency, and its treatment can be further complicated when the appendix is perforated or gangrenous. Traditionally, open appendectomy (OA) has been the standard treatment for complicated cases. However, with advancements in minimally invasive techniques, laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) has become more prevalent. This review compares LA and OA in terms of infection rates, length of hospital stay, and recovery time in patients with perforated or gangrenous appendicitis, and discusses the advantages and potential risks of minimally invasive surgery in complicated cases.
Keywords: Laparoscopic appendectomy, open appendectomy, complicated appendicitis, surgical outcomes, perforated appendicitis
