A Comparative Study on Removal of Appendectomy Specimen during Laparoscopy.
This study included 151 patients and compared four techniques for appendectomy specimen removal during laparoscopy in a tertiary health centre. An endo bag was the most common removal technique which is preferred in the elderly, whereas, direct removal is preferred in younger patients (p=0.045). A lower median CRP level was observed in the powdered glove group (p=0.025), and median values of hospital stay were longer in powder-free and powdered glove groups (p<0.001). ⋯ However, powdered gloves technique is preferred method in cases with less inflammation, though, it prolongs the need for drainage catheter use and length of hospital stay. Therefore, we emphasise that removal via powdered gloves is the worst technique among the four techniques. Key Words: Appendectomy, Appendicitis, Laparoscopy, Morbidity, Readmission.
