Comparative Study on Short Term Outcome Between Laparoscopic Appendectomy and Open Appendectomy in Patients Attending a Rural Tertiary Care Hospital

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Unlike laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholecystitis, laparoscopic appendectomy has not been considered as gold standard treatment for acute appendicitis till date.But due to advantages like less post operative pain, less chance of wound infection, shorter duration of hospital stay and early return to work, over open appendicectomy, laparoscopic appendicectomy needs to be considered as a safe and effective choice for emergency appendicectomy.
