Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) appendectomy is a safe and effective technique for acute appendicitis. This method offers similar operative times to traditional laparoscopy with minimal complications and a nearly invisible scar.

Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Acute appendicitis is a frequent cause of abdominal pain requiring surgical intervention.
  • Laparoscopic appendectomy is a standard surgical procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modified single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) appendectomy technique.
  • To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of SILS appendectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of electronic medical records for patients undergoing SILS appendectomy.
  • Analysis of demographic characteristics, operative time, hospital stay, and complications.
  • Data collected from September 2008 to September 2009.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-five patients underwent successful SILS appendectomy (100% success rate).

Published on: October 24, 2025

  • Mean operative time was 56 ± 16 minutes, comparable to traditional laparoscopy.
  • No intraoperative complications or significant blood loss were reported.

    • Conclusions:

    • Single-incision laparoscopic surgery appendectomy is a safe and effective procedure.
    • The SILS technique results in a virtually invisible scar.
    • SILS appendectomy is a viable alternative for treating acute appendicitis.
