Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
LAPAROSCOPIC appendectomy has become one of the most common laparoscopic surgery performed in day to day of a surgeon. Advantages outrage far more when compared to open appendectomy and thus the shift from to open to minimal access surgery has gained importance considering mainly perioperative period. Small studies done during the past decade have demonstrated same-day discharge after appendectomy as an option for non-perforated appendicitis. Here we have examined a study group to confirm that same-day discharge in acute non-perforated appendicitis is a safe option. All patients older than 18 years of age with acute, non-perforated appendicitis who underwent a laparoscopic appendectomy were included. Compared patients discharged on the day of surgery with patients hospitalized for 1 night and followed up sequentially. The study was composed of 403patients; 283 patients were in the same-day discharge group and 120 patients were in the hospitalized group. Patients in the same-day discharge group had a lower rate of readmission within 30 days when compared with the hospitalized group (2.2% vs 3.1%; p < 0.005). Postoperative general surgery department visits were slightly higher in the hospitalized group (85% vs 81%; p < 0.001).
