The Comparison of Open and Laparoscopic Appendectomy: Is There any Outcome Difference Between Non-Complicated and Complicated Appendicitis?

چکیده
Laporoscopic appendectomy (LA) has advantages over open appendectomy (OA) in terms of shorter length of hospital stay, less superficial surgical site infection, and better cosmetics in patients with non-complicated appendicitis (NCA) (1, 2). However controversy still exists, particularly in complicated appendicitis (CA) which is described as a perforated appendix with or without abscess formation (3-5). Some authors suggested that LA has an increased risk of postoperative intraabdominal abscess, and prolonged length of stay in complicated appendicitis (6), but others reported that LA is safe, effective, and should be the initial procedure of choice for complicated appendicitis as well (7, 8). We aimed to review our experience with appendicitis to compare OA and LA techniques in children with non-complicated and complicated appendicitis.
