Incidental laparoscopic appendectomy during gallbladder surgery is feasible and safe. Further research is needed before widespread adoption of this combined surgical approach.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common procedure.
  • Incidental appendectomy is sometimes considered during abdominal surgery.
  • Laparoscopic appendectomy offers potential benefits for patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the operative experience of incidental laparoscopic appendectomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • To discuss the technique and indications for this combined procedure.
  • To evaluate the safety and feasibility of the approach.

Main Methods:

  • Case series of three patients.
  • Concurrent laparoscopic appendectomy performed during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

  • Utilized existing laparoscopic cholecystectomy incisions.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful incidental laparoscopic appendectomy in all three patients.
    • Procedure performed safely using existing port sites.
    • No reported complications related to the appendectomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Incidental laparoscopic appendectomy is a possible and safe adjunct to laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
    • The technique can be performed using existing incisions.
    • Further well-controlled prospective studies are recommended before widespread application.
