Single incision laparoscopic (SIL) appendectomy is a safe and effective technique for acute appendicitis. This novel approach offers excellent cosmetic results with no incisional hernias.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic appendectomy is widely accepted for treating appendicitis.
  • A novel technique, single incision laparoscopic (SIL) appendectomy, was developed.
  • Evaluating SIL appendectomy's feasibility, safety, and cosmetic outcomes is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of single incision laparoscopic appendectomy.
  • To determine the safety profile of SIL appendectomy.
  • To evaluate the cosmetic results of SIL appendectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Consecutive patients with acute appendicitis underwent SIL appendectomy.
  • A single umbilical incision (~3 cm) was used with conventional laparoscopic instruments and three trocars.

  • Standard pre- and postoperative care was provided, with follow-up at approximately 27 days.

    • Main Results:

    • 85% of appendectomies (22/26 patients) were successfully performed via a single incision.
    • The mean operative time was 58 minutes, with no intraoperative complications.
    • Patients experienced short hospital stays (1.2 days for non-perforated, 2.7 days for perforated appendicitis) and reported favorable cosmetic outcomes with no incisional hernias.

    Conclusions:

    • Single incision laparoscopic appendectomy is a feasible and safe approach for acute appendicitis.
    • The technique utilizes conventional laparoscopic instruments through a single umbilical incision.
    • SIL appendectomy yields successful, safe, and aesthetically pleasing results.
