Abstract:
706 appendectomic procedures using laparoscopy were performed in the Surgical Clinic of the FTN hospital during 2003-2005. The group's mortality rate was nil, the morbidity rated 3.54%. The following complications were recorded: nine patients (1.27%) experienced infiltration in the right hypogastric region, which was confirmed on CT or ultrasound examinations, nine subjects (1.27%) suffered wound infections, two subjects (0.28%) developed subileus, in two subjects (0.28%) intraabdominal abscesses, and in one subject (0.14%) diffuse suppurative peritonitis were diagnosed, one subject (0.14%) developed intraabdominal hemorrhaging, in one subject (0.14%) intraabdominal hematoma was detected. Rates of complications in our group are similar to those presented in literature [1, 2, 3]. Based on their study group analysis, the authors found the laparoscopic appendectomy more beneficial for a patient than the open appendectomy.
