Abstract
:Introduction
Discussions
Complications
Conclusions
- ✓ Laparoscopic appendectomy results in better patient outcomes and is more cost-effective compared to open appendectomy.
- ✓ Overall, laparoscopic appendectomy has shorter hospital stay and recovery times, requires less analgesics, and results in fewer postoperative complications.
