Single-port (SP) laparoscopic appendectomy is a safe and feasible alternative to conventional multi-port techniques for acute appendicitis. This new approach offers a viable option for routine appendectomies with no increased complications.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Advanced laparoscopic appendectomy techniques are evolving.
  • Single-port (SP) surgery offers a less invasive approach compared to conventional multi-port (CP) surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the initial experience of single-port (SP) advanced laparoscopic appendectomy with the conventional three-port (CP) technique.
  • To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of SP appendectomy.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study of 40 patients with acute appendicitis between June and September 2009.
  • Twenty patients underwent SP laparoscopic appendectomy (SP group).
  • Twenty patients underwent conventional laparoscopic appendectomy (CP group).

Main Results:

  • SP appendectomy was successfully performed in all patients without conversion.
  • No significant differences in operating time, age, gender, ASA status, or BMI between SP and CP groups.
  • No surgical complications, incisional hernias, or wound infections were observed in the SP group during follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Transumbilical SP appendectomy using a tri-port system is a feasible and safe approach for routine appendectomies.
  • The SP technique is easy to perform and serves as valuable training for advanced SP surgery.
