Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Appendectomy is a common surgical procedure.
  • Traditional methods can involve larger incisions and general anesthesia.
  • Minimally invasive approaches aim to reduce patient morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel, simplified technique for laparoscope-assisted appendectomy.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of performing appendectomy under local pneumoperitoneum.
  • To present a method for appendix removal via a single small incision.

Main Methods:

  • A 12-mm laparoscope with a transparent cap was used.
  • A single, small laparotomy incision facilitated scope insertion.
  • A multifunctional metallic catheter maintained local pneumoperitoneum.

  • Appendix was grasped and exteriorized through the incision for resection.

    • Main Results:

    • The technique allows for appendix localization and removal.
    • Resection is performed conventionally after exteriorization.
    • The procedure utilizes a single small incision and local anesthesia.
    • Eliminates development of intracavitary concomitant diseases.

    Conclusions:

    • This simplified laparoscope-assisted appendectomy is a viable option.
    • The technique offers benefits of a single small incision and local anesthesia.
    • It presents a potentially less invasive approach to appendectomy.
