Reduced Nursing Burden and Enhanced Recovery: Gasless Single-Port Transumbilical Extracorporeal Laparoscopic-Assisted Versus Conventional Laparoscopic Appendectomy in Children

Puntos clave

• The study aims to compare the impact of gasless single-port transumbilical laparoscopic-assisted appendectomy (TULAA) with conventional laparoscopic appendectomy (CLA) on recovery and nursing burden in children.
• Compared gasless TULAA with conventional CLA in pediatric patients
• Assessed nursing burden and recovery time post-surgery
• Evaluated safety and perioperative care efficiency
• Gasless TULAA significantly reduced nursing workload compared to CLA
• Patients experienced faster recovery times with gasless TULAA
• Safety remained uncompromised during the procedures
