[Laparoscopic approach to appendiceal emergencies. Our experience. Preliminary results].
Laparoscopic surgery in acute appendectomy is a very much debated subject also for skilled teams of mini-invasive surgery. The authors review 25 urgent laparoscopic interventions for acute appendicitis, treating some technical aspects of trocar introduction and Endoloops and EndoGia employment in this field. They conclude by emphasizing that the laparoscopic approach for acute appendicitis is the treatment of choice, considering the good results and the future prospects of laparoscopic versus open surgery.
