This study explores a less invasive approach to appendicectomy, using two or single ports for laparoscopic appendicectomy. The findings highlight the safety and efficacy of this minimally invasive surgical technique.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Standard laparoscopic appendicectomy typically utilizes 3 or 4 surgical ports.
  • Reducing the number of ports can enhance patient benefits through decreased invasiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the experience with a novel two-port, and occasionally single-port, laparoscopic appendicectomy technique.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this reduced-port approach.

Main Methods:

  • Laparoscopic appendicectomy was performed using a modified technique with two ports.
  • In select cases, a single port was utilized for the procedure.

Main Results:

  • The two-port and single-port laparoscopic appendicectomy were successfully performed.

  • The technique demonstrated safety and efficacy in the described patient cohort.

    • Conclusions:

    • A two-port, and sometimes single-port, laparoscopic appendicectomy is a feasible and safe alternative.
    • This approach offers a less invasive option for patients undergoing appendicectomy.
