This study introduces a new laparoscopic appendectomy technique, proving it safe, quick, and effective for diagnosing and treating appendicitis in young patients with right pelvic pain and fever.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery is established for gynecological conditions like ovarian cysts and ectopic pregnancies.
  • Diagnosing appendicitis can be challenging, making laparoscopy a valuable tool.
  • Existing laparoscopic techniques for appendectomy require assessment for feasibility and efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel laparoscopic appendectomy technique.
  • To determine the feasibility, efficacy, and benefits of this new approach.
  • To assess its applicability in patients with right pelvic pain and fever.

Main Methods:

  • A new intra-peritoneal laparoscopic appendectomy was performed on 20 patients.
  • The procedure involved exposing the appendix via three trocars and coagulating the mesoappendix.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The appendix stump was secured using a clip applier (Ethnor T1300).

    • Main Results:

    • The mean operative time was 36.5 minutes, with no need for conversion to laparotomy.
    • No post-operative complications were reported, and digestive function resumed by day two.
    • Patients and staff reported positive experiences, noting comfortable recovery and aesthetic benefits.

    Conclusions:

    • The new laparoscopic appendectomy technique is safe, quick, and easily reproducible.
    • It is particularly suitable for young patients presenting with right pelvic pain and fever.
    • This method offers advantages in terms of patient recovery and cosmetic outcomes.
