Abstract:
Objective To summarize our experience on laparoscopic appendectomy combined with high ligation of the vaginal process in children.Methods From January 2004 to May 2007,totally 326 patients with appendicitis underwent laparoscopic appendectomy in our hospital.During the operation,by inguinal exploration,83 cases of vaginal process deformity (17 bilateral and 69 unilateral lesions) were confirmed.High ligation of the vaginal process was performed on these patients.Results The operation was successfully done in all of the 83 cases,none of them showed postoperative complications.The cases were followed up for 6 to 12 months,during which only one patient had recurrent inguinal hernia.Three patients developed latent hernia but receined no treatment. Conclusions Laparoscopic appendectomy combined with high ligation of the vaginal process is an safe,effective,and low-cost procedure,leading to quick recovery and less pain for children with appendicitis complicated with vaginal process deformity.
