Comparison of Laparoscopic-Assisted Appendectomy with Intracorporal Laparoscopic Appendectomy and Open Appendectomy

Background:A laparoscopic appendectomy is associated with less postoperative pain and a shorter postoperative stay than the open technique. However, the open technique is faster and less expensive than the completely laparoscopic method. A laparoscopic-assisted appendectomy has the advantages of both the laparoscopic and open techniques.
