Abstract:
Objective To summarize the experience of laparoscopic appendectomy(LA). Methods A retrospective analysis was made on clinical date of 368 cases of appendicitis treated with laparoscopic appendectomy in this hospital from March 1998 to March 2005.There were 35 cases of simple appendicitis,276 cases of suppurative appendicitis,39 cases of appendiceal perforation with peritonitis,and 18 cases of chronic appendicitis. Results The procedure was successfully accomplished in 363 cases,while conversions to open surgery were performed in 5 cases.The operative time was 22~55 min(mean,30.5 min),and the intraoperative blood loss was 2~10 ml.One case of abdominal residual infection and 1 case of adhesive ileus were cured with conservative treatment postoperatively.Pelvic abscess occurred in 1 case and was cured with a re-operation of laparoscopic abscess drainage. Conclusions Laparoscopic appendectomy is safe and effective in skilled hands.
