Two-port and single port laparoscopic appendicectomy.
Minimally invasive surgery for appendicectomy generally involves use of 3 or 4 ports. But if the procedure can be safely performed using two or even a single port, it would be beneficial to the patient, since it is less invasive than standard procedure. The present article describes an experience of laparoscopic appendicectomy using only two ports and occasionally a single port and highlights its efficacy and safety.
