Laparoscopic Appendectomy Versus Open Appendectomy: A Single Institution Study

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic appendectomy versus open appendectomy at Baptist Hospital in Miami, Florida. METHODS A retrospective review was performed on all appendectomies performed at Baptist Hospital from October 1, 1994 to September 30, 1995.

Single-incision Multiport Laparoscopic Appendectomy versus Conventional Laparoscopic Appendectomy: A Single-center Randomized Control Study

Background: Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency and early surgical intervention improves outcome. Laparoscopic Appendectomy has become the mainstay of surgical management of appendicitis. Single incision surgery, a recent offshoot of Laparoscopy is slowly going momentum. Objective: This study aims to compare the standard conventional Laparoscopic Appendectomy with Single In...

Laparoscopic Appendectomy

Prospective, randomized comparative study between single-port laparoscopic appendectomy and conventional laparoscopic appendectomy.

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic appendectomy is probably the technique of choice in acute appendicitis. Single port laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has been proposed as an alternative technique. The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of SILS against conventional laparoscopic appendectomy (LA). MATERIAL AND METHODS From January 2011 to September 2012, 120 patients with acute a...

A Comparative Study of Routine Laparoscopic Versus Open Appendectomy

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the outcomes of routine laparoscopy and laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) in patients with suspected appendicitis. This is a retrospective study of the outcomes of patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy compared with outcomes for patients undergoing open appendectomy (OA) during the time that LA came into use. METHOD Results of patients managed with routine laparosc...
