Abstract

Background: Since the introduction of the laparoscopic appendectomy, it has become an alternative method of treatment to an open appendectomy because of  less pain, less abdominal scarring, and quick recovery to daily life. Looking for ways to take advantage of the benefits of laparoscopic surgery has led some surgeons to start performing appendectomy  utilizing the single incision laparoscopic surgery. Methods: 30 patients (12 males, 18 females) underwent single port laparoscopic appendectomy using the Covidien port through an incision of 2cm made just infraumbilical. With the use of ligasure  for dissection and extracorporeal knot for the stump the appendix  was  removed. Results: All the 30 patients with age rangingfrom 18 to 50 years were successfully operated upon.  The operative time range was 50 to 80 minutes. All were discharged 24 hours  after operation. 2 patients (6, 66%)  presented  with postoperative complications, one  case with umbilical  wound infection  and   the   other with postoperative pelvic collection. Conclusion: Single port laparoscopic appendectomy is feasible and safe in acute appendicitis without mass or abcess formation.
