Clinical Trial Description

Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common causes of acute abdomen and one of the most frequent diagnoses that require urgent surgery worldwide.

Many laparoscopic procedures are currently performed on an outpatient basis.Laparoscopic appendectomy, however, continues to require postoperative hospitalization averaging between 1 and 2 days, at most institutions.

At present ambulatory laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) are gained popularity due to the improved understanding of patient selection criteria, the application of enhanced recovery pathways, and the potential for improving healthcare resource utilization.

There are few studies about to compare the morbidity and readmission rates between ambulatory and conventional LA.

There is a lack of high-quality comparative studies making conclusive recommendations not possible at this time. Based on current data, ambulatory LA may be safe and feasible as compared with conventional LA. ;
