Laparoscopic appendicectomy offers superior clinical outcomes including reduced pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery compared to open appendicectomy.
Ram Nagina Sinha (2016) conducted an observational in Appendicitis. Laparoscopic appendicectomy vs. Open appendicectomy was evaluated on Hospital stay (days). Laparoscopic appendicectomy resulted in a shorter hospital stay (2.23 vs 3.4 days), fewer analgesic doses (4 vs 5.9), and faster return to normal activity (6.53 vs 8.7 days) compared to open surgery.
