Abstract
The authors performed a meta-analysis to determine whether open or laparoscopic appendectomy would reduce wound infection incidence in adult patients with acute appendicitis. The meta-analysis included nine of seven patients from eight randomized controlled trials. Data were analyzed using the fixed effect-model method of Mantel-Haenszel. Wound infection incidence was lower in the laparoscopic group.Entities:
