Keywords:
Appendectomy, laparoscopic surgery, open surgeryAbstract
Appendectomy remains one of the most frequently performed emergency surgical procedures worldwide. While laparoscopic appendectomy has become increasingly common, open appendectomy is still practiced in many settings. This multicenter study compares clinical outcomes between laparoscopic and open appendectomy in adult patients, focusing on operative duration, postoperative complications, pain intensity, and length of hospital stay. The findings indicate that laparoscopic appendectomy is associated with improved postoperative recovery and reduced complication rates, supporting its role as the preferred surgical approach in uncomplicated cases.
