Four incisions for an appendectomy, corresponding to the order listed. Hasson Entry: The two red lines mark the sites of the 5mm laparoscopic ports. The blue line above the umbilicus marks the site of the camera port Surgeons perform a laparoscopic appendectomy. In general terms, the procedure for an open appendectomy is:

This laparoscopic surgical procedure was the first laparoscopic organ resection reported in medical literature. In 1981, Semm, from the gynecological clinic of Kiel University, Germany, performed the first laparoscopic appendectomy. Following his lecture on laparoscopic appendectomy, the president of the German Surgical Society wrote to the ...
Laparoscopic appendectomy has several advantages over open appendectomy, including a shorter post-operative recovery, less post-operative pain, and a lower superficial surgical site infection rate. However, the occurrence of an intra-abdominal abscess is almost three times more prevalent in laparoscopic appendectomy than open appendectomy.
Single-port laparoscopy (SPL) is a recently developed technique in laparoscopic surgery. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the surgeon operates almost exclusively through a single entry point, typically the patient's navel. Unlike a traditional multi-port laparoscopic approach, SPL leaves only a single small scar.
D'Hoore also used a laparoscopic approach (laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy, LVMR). [15] After 2002, the minimally invasive trans-anal approach known as Stapled Trans-Anal Rectal Resection (STARR) became popular for treating obstructed defecation syndrome. However, over time, there has been a general trend away from STARR towards abdominal ...
A retrograde appendicectomy is a form of surgery to remove an appendix that is retrocaecal and adherent [1] or otherwise inaccessible, so that the appendicectomy is performed in a retrograde fashion. [2]
Several studies have pointed out that for various laparoscopic surgical applications (such as cholecystectomy, groin hernia repairs and appendectomies), creating pneumoperitoneum by using a Veress needle is not always as safe and effective as other techniques (e.g. direct trocar insertion (DTI)).
