appendicitis, Laparoscopic, PatientsAbstract
Acute appendicitis is one of a relatively dwindling number of conditions in which a decision to operate may be based solely on clinical findings. Laparoscopic appendicectomy is becoming the gold standard of treatment but non-operative management with antibiotics may suffice in selected cases with uncomplicated appendicitis. The advantages of the innovations in minimally invasive and endoscopic surgery are unlikely to render formal open appendicectomy obsolete.
The controversy in the management of the appendix mass/abscess remains.
