Abstract
Background: Appendicitis is the most frequent surgical emergency. It affects people of all ages and gender. Methods to manage appendicitis are either medically by antibiotics and watchful waiting or surgery. The surgical approach includes laparoscopic and open appendectomy; neither surgical technique was proved to be the most efficient method to do an appendectomy. Objectives: comparison between laparoscopic appendectomy versus open appendectomy in regards to the complications, applicability, cost and hospital stay. Material and Methods: In this review, we used a comprehensive search of EMBASE, Pubmed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from January 1, 1995, to July 17, 2018.
Conclusion: Open appendectomy is the preferred choice in case of a perforated appendix or severe inflammation. Laparoscopic appendectomy offers fewer complications, hospital stay and lesser time in the operation room.
