Popis: Relevance of the topic: Appendectomy is one of the most frequently performed operations in abdominal surgery. Laparoscopic access is gradually replacing open surgery for acute appendicitis. The aim of this study was to assess the technical feasibility and safety of the laparoscopic technique for acute appendicitis and compare its results with open appendectomy. A total of 120 patients with acute appendicitis were operated on, 60 with laparoscopic appendectomy and 60 with open surgery. For three years from June 2018 to January 2021. The two groups were compared for the duration of surgery, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain, complication rate, time spent resuming daily activities, and cosmetic satisfaction of patients. The results were found to be significantly better when using the laparoscopic technique. In the postoperative period, there was a lower level of pain, faster recovery, early resumption of work, a decrease in postoperative complications and better cosmetic satisfaction of patients operated on by the method of laparoscopic appendectomy, compared with open surgery. Conclusions: Laparoscopic appendectomy is a safe and feasible technique for treating acute appendicitis with results comparable to open appendectomy, without an obvious increase in complications and is clearly the procedure of choice for treating acute appendicitis.
