Summary

This prospective, randomized controlled trial aims to compare the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic appendectomy performed under two standard pneumoperitoneum pressures (10 mmHg and 15 mmHg). The primary objective is to evaluate postoperative pain, while secondary outcomes include operative time, conversion rate, time to first flatus and bowel movement, length of hospital stay, postoperative ileus, and intra-abdominal abscess formation. The study will determine whether lower-pressure pneumoperitoneum provides comparable surgical conditions while improving postoperative recovery.
