Laparoscopic appendectomy: indications and controversies.

C P Fischer1, Antonio Castaneda, Fabienne Moore.   

Abstract

The introduction of laparoscopic appendectomy has been more controversial than that of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Randomized trials have been performed, as well as meta-analysis, with equivocal results regarding effectiveness. The further expansion of the technique for interval appendectomy and in cases of complicated appendicitis has introduced new controversies and success stories. We hope to review the current application of laparoscopic appendectomy in adults based on the available literature and discuss some current controversies. Copyright 2002, Elsevier Science (USA).
