Research paper thumbnail of Laparoscopic Appendectomy Versus Open Appendectomy in Children: Evolution over Time

Acta Medica Transilvanica, Mar 1, 2021

Laparoscopic appendicitis surgery is accepted in more and more centers around the world. Studies ... more Laparoscopic appendicitis surgery is accepted in more and more centers around the world. Studies and meta-analyses of studies have shown that laparoscopic appendicitis is a feasible and safe procedure with numerous clinical benefits, such as shorter postoperative ileus, lower incidence of wound infection, lower postoperative pain and duration, recurrence faster to activities. Because laparoscopic appendectomy has been associated with a reduced risk of surgical complications, it may provide a better alternative versus open surgery. A review of data relevant to the evaluation of laparoscopic appendectomy versus open appendectomy as reflected in the literature of the last 2 decades would be relevant for the growing progressive interest of laparoscopic surgery for acute appendicitis and for its comparative evaluation with classical open appendicitis intervention.
