Discussion

Retrospective analysis shows laparoscopic appendectomy reduced postoperative complications in acute appendicitis.

Laparoscopic appendectomy resulted in significantly lower postoperative pain scores compared to open appendectomy.
The mean operative duration was longer in the laparoscopic appendectomy group, averaging 102.56 minutes.
Intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower in the laparoscopic group, averaging 29.64 mL versus 74.79 mL.
Laparoscopic appendectomy demonstrated shorter hospital stays and faster return to work than open appendectomy.

Eker et al. (2025) studied this question.
