Laparoscopy appendicectomy is feasible and safe in acute appendicitis

A D Hill et al. Ir J Med Sci. 1991 Sep.

Abstract

Our initial experience of using laparoscopy to perform appendicectomy for appendicitis has shown that the operation is feasible, safe and as effective as open surgery in early appendicitis. The precise role of laparoscopic appendicectomy will need to be defined by a prospective randomised trial.
