OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of open appendectomy (OA) and laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) for pediatric acute appendicitis in order to guide its future management.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study including all children under the age of 14 years, who underwent appendectomy for acute appendicitis, during a period of 6 years (2013-2018). We divided our patients in two groups based on the surgical modality: the laparoscopic and open group. P values of less than .05 were considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: A total of 690 appendectomies were identified: 151 (22%) were performed laparoscopically and 539 (78%) via laparotomy. The demographic data were comparable between the 2 groups. There was no statistical difference regarding the age, sex. However the frequency of obese patients was higher in laparoscopic approach (P < .001).The mean operative time was significantly longer in the Laparoscopic group (77 ± 39, 6 minutes) compared with Open group (57 ± 27 minutes) (P < .001). Prophylactic drain placement was significantly more common in the open appendectomy group (P = .034). Patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy experienced a quicker recovery to apyrexia, reduced use of postoperative analgesics, and postoperative antibiotic compared to those undergoing open appendectomy (P < .05). The mean length of hospital stay was respectively 4 ± 1 day in LA group and 4 ± 2 days in the OA group. No significant difference was observed. The results showed no significant difference between the 2 groups regarding the incidence of wound infection, intra abdominal abscess, intestinal obstruction and umbilical hernia (P > .05).There was no death in this study.
CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic appendectomy is safe and feasible for the management of appendicitis without significant influence on the complications rate.
