Patients and Methods
• Patients were assessed for acute appendicitis and were divided into two
groups based on open and laparoscopic appendectomies.
• Patient’s clinical files and records were retrieved and assessed and data
was entered into a study proforma and analyzed using SPSS soft ware.
Results
• 156 patients 108 male (69%) and 48 female (31%)
• There were 90 laparoscopic and 66 open procedures.
• Of the total 90 cases in laparoscopic appendectomies 11 (12.2%) had
superficial surgical site infection (SSSI), while in the open group 10 (15.1%)
developed superficial surgical site infection.
• The comparative analysis showing p-value was of 0.48 which was statistically
insignificant.
• A total of 2 (2.2%) patients in the laparoscopic group developed organ space
infection and were managed by pig tail drainage showed p-value of <0.05
which was statistically significant. In the open group no patients developed
organ space infection.
Conclusion
Laparoscopic appendectomy is not associated with lower surgical site
infections ascompared to open appendectomy but the severity of disease is
the factor for increased organ space infection.
