Abstract

Purpose: The study aimed to compare laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) with open appendectomy (OA) in children. Method: From January, 2007 to June, 2010, 130 children underwent OA and from July, 2007 to December, 2010, 121 children underwent LA for acute appendicitis. There were no cases of LA that required conversion to OA. Data collection included WBC, CRP, operative time, hospital stay, resumption of diet, postoperative complications (wound infection, intraabdominal abscess and ileus), and duration of intravenous antibiotic administration. Result: The operative time in the LA group (82.1±34.2 minutes) was longer than that in the OA group (58.4±27.5 minutes) (p<0.001). The hospital stay, resumption of diet and postoperative complications were not different between the LA and OA groups. Conclusion: LA for children was as safe and effective as OA, although the operative time for LA was longer than OA.
