Laparoscopic versus open appendectomy in acute appendicitis: A randomized prospective study

Abstract

We believe that LA is effective in any kind of clinical situation, with low traumatic impact and best comfort for the patient.

Comparison of Short-Term Outcome between Laparoscopic and Open Appendectomy in Adults: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

“…However, several randomized controlled trials comparing laparoscopic with open appendectomy have provided conflicting results [9,10]. Previous studies have demonstrated better clinical short-term outcomes with the laparoscopic approach [11][12][13], while other studies have shown marginal or no short-term clinical benefits [14][15][16]. Bearing in mind that laparoscopic appendectomy, unlike other laparoscopic procedures, has not been found superior to open surgery for acute appendicitis [17].…”

Laparoscopic or Open Appendectomy: A Surgical Dilemma

“…Many authors foresees Laparoscopic surgery as a reliable future tool for intraabdominal surgical pathologies in order to provide less invasiveness with maximum comfort and outcomes 6,7 . Several studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] have shown that laparoscopic appendectomy is safe with faster recovery and least wound complication.…”

The Safety And Efficacy Of Different Methods Used For The Closure Of The Appendiceal Stump (CAS) İn Laparoscopic Appendectomy

“…But still no superiority to the open classic technique was demonstrated in the literatures comparing LA and classic appendectomy. [9][10][11][12][13] Besides these benefits in laparoscopy there are some dis-advantages and limitations of it such as; the long operation times for performing a laparoscopic surgery, complications of the laparoscopic techniques and the higher costs of the laparoscopic surgery due to the devices used. [14,15] For these reasons the laparoscopic technique is not accepted as the gold-standard approach in acute appendicitis.…”
