Abstract:

Background: Laparoscopic surgery is available for a long time but it is still not clear whether open appendicectomy (OA) or laparoscopic appendicectomy (LA) is the most appropriate surgical approach to acute appendicitis. The purpose of this study is to compare the surgical effects and safety of laparoscopic and open appendicectomy. Methods: Study was carried out in Jashore district in Bangladesh from January 2014 to June 2018. 605 cases of acute appendicitis included who underwent appendicectomy in Jashore Medical College Hospital and other private hospitals in Jashore town. Of them 317 patients underwent OA and 288 LA. Comparisons were carried out in terms of operating time, postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay, return to normal activities and cost.
