Appendicitis01:19

Appendicitis

Appendicitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the vermiform appendix, most commonly caused by obstruction of its lumen. The appendix is a narrow, blind-ended pouch that extends from the cecum, making it particularly prone to obstruction. Causes include fecaliths, lymphoid hyperplasia (often after viral infections), parasites, tumors, or foreign bodies. This obstruction initiates a cascade of pathological changes.Luminal Obstruction and Early InflammationAfter obstruction, normal mucosal...

Annals of surgical treatment and research·2026

Single-port appendectomy is a feasible surgical technique for acute appendicitis, offering good cosmetic outcomes. While operative time may be longer, it presents a viable alternative to conventional laparoscopic approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Emphasis on cosmesis and early recovery in modern surgery.
  • Adoption of single-port laparoscopic appendectomy to minimize abdominal trauma.
  • Single-port surgery improves cosmetic outcomes for acute appendicitis patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of single-port transumbilical laparoscopic appendectomy.
  • To assess the cosmetic results and recovery associated with this minimally invasive technique.
  • To determine if single-port appendectomy is a viable alternative for acute appendicitis.

Main Methods:

  • 43 appendectomies performed using a single-port transumbilical laparoscopic technique.
  • A multichannel port created with a surgical glove, trocars, catheter, and wound retractor.

Published on: December 4, 2023

  • Standard laparoscopic appendectomy procedures adapted for single-port access, including mesenteric dissection and stump ligation.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean operative time was 61.3 minutes.
    • Good cosmetic results reported with minimal complications.
    • Pathology revealed various forms of appendicitis, with low readmission and complication rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Single-port appendectomy is a feasible technique for acute appendicitis.
    • The procedure offers good cosmetic results, aligning with patient recovery goals.
    • It serves as a potential alternative to conventional laparoscopic appendectomy.
