Video laparoscopy offers a safe alternative for acute appendicitis treatment, though some disadvantages require further attention. This study compared laparoscopic appendicectomy with open surgery in 496 patients.

Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Acute appendicitis remains a common surgical emergency.
  • The videolaparoscopic approach presents potential benefits and drawbacks compared to traditional open surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes of videolaparoscopic appendicectomy versus open appendicectomy for acute appendicitis.
  • To evaluate surgery duration, morbidity, mortality, costs, and length of stay.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, non-randomized study involving 496 patients.
  • Comparison of video laparoscopy and traditional open appendicectomy.
  • Data collection on surgery duration, morbidity, mortality, costs, and length of stay.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic appendicectomy demonstrated safety as an alternative treatment.
  • Key variables including surgery duration, morbidity, mortality, costs, and length of stay were analyzed.
  • Specific disadvantages of the laparoscopic method were identified.

    • Conclusions:

    • Videolaparoscopic appendicectomy is a viable and safe option for treating acute appendicitis.
    • Further research and technological advancements are needed to address the identified disadvantages of laparoscopic surgery.
