Abstract
In October 1989 the author began a study of laparoscopic appendectomy. This paper presents the preliminary results in 21 patients. Laparoscopy was carried out for diagnosis and 12 patients underwent laparoscopic appendectomy. The morbidity, length of hospital stay and time lost from work was reduced in all 12 patients. The author describes the technique of laparoscopic appendectomy and recommends that only experienced laparoscopists should carry out this procedure.
