Abstract
Aims: To study cases of appendicitis, their management and postoperative complications and mean hospital stay among patients operated by single port or three port laparoscopic appendicectomy. Material and method: In this study, 50 patients of appendicitis were divided into two groups, Group A(25 patients) were treated with conventional three port laparoscopic appendicectomy and Group B(25 patients)treated with single port laparoscopic appendicectomy with conventional instruments. After the treatment, patients were followed up immediate postoperatively for pain, fever, wound infection; and after 3 month and 6 month for port site complication, scar formation and port site hernia. Observation and results: Patients of group B those operated by single port laparoscopic appendicectomy had less post operative pain and all of them were ambulated on the day of surgery as compared to group A patients in which 50% of them were ambulated on 1st pod and 50% on 2nd pod. Patients of group B, had less pain and discomfort at 3 months follow up period compared to that of group A which is statistically significant (p<0.05).The parameter of scar formation was statistically significant (p<0.05) meaning that patients of group B had no visible scar at 6 month follow up period. Conclusion: From our study and observations we can conclude that incidence of post operative pain, discomfort and complications are less in single port laparoscopic appendicectomy as compared to conventional laparoscopic appendicectomy. So single port laparoscopic appendicectomy is superior between two techniques.
