Archives of Surgery, 1972To the Editor. —Hallatt 1 in gynecologic surgery and Lilly and Randolph 2 in pediatric surgery have rekindled interest in the intussusception (inversion) method for performing an appendectomy.

World Journal of Surgery, 1993
AbstractAppendectomy was performed using a laparoscopic approach in 915 patients. The collected data show that the technique is as feasible, rapid, and safe as open surgery. Few wound infections, minimal pain, and rapid postoperative mobilization are the main arguments in favor of laparoscopic appendectomy. The most important potential benefit, a lower

Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2001
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using 2-mm laparoscopic instruments in the treatment of appendicitis and to identify risk factors that may limit their use. Minilaparoscopic appendectomy was performed through a 2-mm port in the umbilicus for a videoendoscope, a 2-mm working port in the right upper quadrant, and a 5/12-mm ...

Surgical Endoscopy, 2003
In this paper, we compare our experience with the techniques of needlescopic appendectomy (NA) (2-mm instruments) for the treatment of acute appendicitis with the more conventional approach of a laparoscopic appendectomy (LA).We did a retrospective review of patients who underwent NA for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis between August 1996 and ...
