Aims The objective of this study was to analyze the difference of outcome and complications in peritoneal closure versus non-closure in open appendicectomy.Materials and Methods Thestudy was conducted in 200 patients with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis undergoing open appendicectomy divided randomly into two groups Group A- Open appendicectomy with closure of peritoneum n100 and Group B- Open appendicectomy with non-closure of peritoneum n100. Operative time and pain analgesia complications like wound infectionand duration of hospital stay were assessed.Results Difference in operative time between both the groups was found to be statistically significant plt 0.016 and the need for higher analgesics in both groups was statically significantplt0.0001.Conclusion Non-closure of peritoneum in open appendicectomy is associated with lesser operating period shorter duration of stay in the hospital and low requirement of postoperative analgesia.
