Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the study is to evaluate the advantages of laparoscopic appendectomy fromour clinical experience in UMHATEM "Pirogov" which resulted in reduced postoperative complications, pain, length of hospital stay, and early return to work. Material and Methods: Data from a study of a patient group in the Department of General, Visceral and Emergency Surgery of UMBALSM "H. I. Pirogov "for the six-month period (01.01.2019 до 01.07.2019) were collected.Eighty-one patients with acute appendicitis who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy were selected. Indicators characterizing basic clinical and pathological features (epidemiology, demography, degree of pathological impairment), surgical approach and its outcomes (postoperative complications, postoperative duration), influence of concomitant factors were studied. Results: The study included 81 patients. The majority of patients were women - 46 (56.79%), men- 35 (43.21%). The mean age of male patients was 31.4 years and for female-28.6 years respectively. Hospitalization times are usually short - most patients are given up to 72 hours (70- 86.42%). Only eleven patients (13.58%) had an extended hospital stay for observation and additional therapy. Conclusion: Laparoscopic appendectomy was verified as an optimal and safe surgical procedure. Laparoscopic approach reduces post-operative pain, shortens hospital stay, reduces complications, and thereby reducing treatment costs.
