Laparoscopic Appendicectomy (LA) now a days is widely practiced but could not gain universal approval. LA was first done in 1983. All recent studies shows in favour of LA. Our study is to view the therapeutic benefits of LA by comparing with open appendicectomy.

Results: we observed that mean operating time for LA is 48±8 and OA is 35±10, LA requires 1.1 shots less analgesics than OA, Oral feeding was resumed in 20 hours earlier following LA when compared to OA, Post operative stay 2.1 days shorter in LA than OA, In female patients we noticed other pathologies like ovarian cysts and peritoneal pathology, diagnosis done and managed laparoscopically in same sitting. Conclusion: In our study it is found that LA is more effective and safe procedure in both male and female sexes. LA has tremendous advantage having less post operative infection, hospital stay and less analgesia administered and early return of bowel movements
