“…Our result is similar to data in the literature [16] [17] [18] [19]. Biological examinations guide the diagnosis in atypical forms [2]. Indeed, the blood count shows a leukocytosis of more than 10,000 elements/mm 3 and the CRP is greater than 24 mg/L.…”

“…The diagnosis of acute appendicitis is clinical. In its classic form [2], it describes the picture of abdominal pain initially localized in the epigastric region and subsequently in the right iliac fossa. This pain is associated with fever or low-grade fever, nausea and/or vomiting, cessation of stool without cessation of gas.…”

“…Acute appendicitis (AA) represents a surgical emergency marked by the sudden inflammation of the vermiform appendix [1]. The standard treatment involves the surgical removal of the appendix, either through open surgery or via laparoscopy, with the latter being currently recognized as the preferred method for managing AA [2]. Indeed, the laparoscopic approach to appendicular pathology was initially designed to decrease the morbidity of appendectomy and the frequency of diagnostic errors.…”

Introduction: Acute appendicitis represents an urgent surgical condition, requiring the removal of the vermiform appendix. Laparoscopy is the standard surgical approach. This study aimed to outline the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic, and outcome characteristics of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for acute appendicitis. Patients and Methods: A descriptive, retrospective analysis was carried out in the Emergency and Digestive Surgery departments of the University Hospital Center of Brazzaville, spanning two years from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022. The study included all patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for non-complicated acute appendicitis. Results: The study included 12 cases of non-complicated acute appendicitis treated with urgent laparoscopy. The mean age of the patients was 37 ± 8.9 years, with a sex ratio of 0.7. The predominant symptom leading to consultation was pain in the right iliac fossa, with an average time to consultation of 6.4 ± 5.7 hours. Patient histories included diabetes in one case, obesity in two cases, and one case of prior abdominoplasty. During surgery, a phlegmonous appendix was observed in nine patients. The average duration of hospital stay was 3.6 ± 1.3 days, with all patients experiencing uncomplicated recoveries. Conclusion: The practice of emergency laparoscopic appendectomy is still relatively infrequent in our setting and presents an ongoing challenge.

“…Median age of patients in our series was 12. It corresponds to the maximum rate of hospitalization for appendectomy in France as shown in an epidemiologic study regarding appendectomy in France between 1980 and 2012 . All NET of the appendix were incidental findings after appendectomy, whatever the size.…”

“…It corresponds to the maximum rate of hospitalization for appendectomy in France as shown in an epidemiologic study regarding appendectomy in France between 1980 and 2012. [16] All NET of the appendix were incidental findings after appendectomy, whatever the size. The true incidence of these tumors is not known because they are found incidentally during appendectomy.…”
