No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Acute appendicitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdominal pain requiring surgical intervention, with appendectomy being the definitive treatment . Traditionally performed through an open approach, appendectomy has evolved significantly with the advent of minimally invasive surgery. Since its introduction in the late 1980s, laparoscopic appendectomy has gained widespread acceptance and is now often preferred due to its well-documented advantages, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, quicker return to normal activity, and improved cosmetic outcomes . Despite these benefits, concerns remain regarding the long-term postoperative complications associated with both laparoscopic and open approaches, one of the most clinically significant being bowel obstruction
