Objective To compare the difference in incisional complications between transumbilical single insicion laparoscopic appendectomy(TUSILA) and conventional laparoscopic appendectomy(CLA).Methods The incisional complications in 312 cases of TUSILA and 346 cases of CLA in the general surgery department of this hospital from January 2011 to December 29014 were retrospectively analyzed.The total occurrence rate of incision complications,incision infection rate and incision hernia occurrence rate were observed in the two groups.Results The incision complications occurrence rate,incision infection rate and incision hernia occurrence rate had no statistical difference between the TUSILA group and CLA group(P＞0.05).The univariate analysis showed that the incision infection was correlated with high BMI,complicating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and indwelling drainage tube;the Spearman correlation analysis indicated that incision hernia was closely correlated with the incision infection(r=0.82,P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with CLA,TUSILA does not increase the incision complications occurrence rate.
