Area of Science:

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Surgical Gastroenterology

Background:

Appendicitis is a common surgical emergency, with appendectomy being a frequent procedure.
Laparoscopic appendectomy is increasingly favored over open surgery, especially for uncomplicated cases.
The use of linear staplers for stump closure may enhance safety in complicated appendicitis.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel, simplified laparoscopic appendectomy technique.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this technique, particularly in complicated appendicitis.
To standardize laparoscopic appendectomy for broader surgical application.

Main Methods:

The study reports initial experience with 50 cases using a personal laparoscopic appendectomy technique.
The technique focuses on safe and simple appendix sectioning, deferring vessel and surrounding tissue detachment.
This approach aims to simplify dissection in challenging cases.

Main Results:

The initial 50 cases demonstrated a low complication rate.
Only one intraoperative hemorrhage and one bladder perforation occurred.
No cases required conversion to open surgery.

Conclusions:

The proposed simplified laparoscopic appendectomy technique is safe and effective.
This method can be easily adopted by surgeons of varying expertise levels.
The technique offers a standardized approach for managing complicated appendicitis laparoscopically.
