A Comparative Study Between Single-Incision Laparoscopic Appendicectomy Using Conventional Instruments and Glove-Port (SILACIG) and Conventional Multiport Laparoscopic Appendicectomy (CMLA)

Abstract

Introduction Appendicectomy is the most common surgical procedure. Conventional laparoscopic appendicectomy being time-tested, attempts were made to make it less invasive. Single-incision laparoscopic appendicectomy is the most recent trend. The present study is conducted with the aim to compare surgical outcomes between single-incision laparoscopic appendicectomy using conventional instruments and glove-port (SILACIG) with conventional multiport laparoscopic appendicectomy (CMLA). Materials and methods A total of 80 patients with appendicitis were recruited and underwent SILACIG (n=40) and CMLA (n=40). They were monitored for operative time, time of oral intake, pain on the second postoperative day, day of discharge, return to work, and scar size after two months. Results There was no significant difference between SILACIG and CMLA in terms of the time of oral intake, day of discharge, and return to work. Operative time was significantly more in the SILACIG group as compared to CMLA. Pain on the second postoperative day was less than CMLA, and the size of the operative scar was significantly smaller than 2 cm in the SILACIG group as compared to the CMLA group. Conclusion SILACIG is a feasible, safe, and cost-effective technique. It is comparable with CMLA in terms of preoperative diagnosis, postoperative oral intake, hospitalization period, and return to work. It shows less pain on the second postoperative day and cosmetic benefit but requires more operative time than CMLA.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy Using the Surgical-Glove Port Through an Umbilical Incision: A Single-Center Retrospective Study

“…Some surgeons invert the appendix stump using the purse-string suture during open appendectomy [ 18 , 25 ], with ENDOLOOP® simple ligation [ 23 ] and stump closure with invaginating suture [ 27 ] to avoid postoperative residual abscess. However, these patients had mild appendicitis according to the AAST classification [ 15 ].…”

A brief overview of single-port laparoscopic appendectomy as an optimal surgical procedure for patients with acute appendicitis: still a long way to go

“…Finally, 17 research articles or case series on SPLA, from the Republic of Korea, China, India, Spain, and other countries, were included in the present review. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Most articles were from the Republic of Korea (n ¼ 6), followed by China (n ¼ 4), India (n ¼ 3), Vietnam (n ¼ 1), Argentina (n ¼ 1), Egypt (n ¼ 1), and Spain (n ¼ 1). There were eight retrospective studies, six prospective studies, and three case series (Figure 1).…”

“…Surgical techniques, equipment, and devices, including magnet-assisted single trocar (MAST), needle grasper (Endo Relief)-assisted single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy (NASILA), and SPLA using a needle-type grasping forceps (SLAN) are summarized (Table 1). [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] The performance of each technique was also compared in terms of clinical outcomes (Table 2).…”
