Evaluation the Role of Laparoscopic Management of Perforated Appendicitis

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

A laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) was first reported by Semm in 1983. Since then, its advantages, such as the aesthetic appearance of the wound, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery which facilitates early discharge, have been highlighted, and the number of procedures performed has been continuously increasing.

Clinical Trial Description

The LA was performed mostly on uncomplicated appendicitis due to negative opinions about its safety when it was first introduced. However, the application of the procedure has been extended to complicated appendicitis (CA), and it is now considered as an alternative procedure to an open appendectomy (OA) as its safety record has improved . Nevertheless, it is still controversial because there are still concerns about surgical difficulties in managing CA with laparoscopy, overall surgery time, possible post-op complications and conversion to an OA during the surgery.

this study aimed to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of LA for managing perforated appendicitis. ;
