RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the relationship between laparoscopic appendectomy and relative complications post-operation for the elderly patients with acute appendicitis.Methods The clinical data of 64 elderly patients with acute appendicitis and underwent laparoscopic appendectomy were retrospectively analyzed.According to the different operation mode,all cases were divided into two groups,including laparoscopic operation group 38 cases and conventional open operation group 26 cases.The distribution of cases with complications incision infection,ankylenteron,bleeding,abdominal infection,stercoral fistula,appendix stump inflammation post-operation were compared between the two groups.Results Between two groups,incision infection and intestinal cases distribution difference had statistical significance while in the aspects of bleeding,abdominal infection,fistula and appendix stump inflammation,there was no significant difference.Conclusion Compared with conventional open operation,for elderly patients with acute appendicitis,laparoscopic appendectomy appeared to have an advantage to reduce postoperative complications,which could reduce the incision infection and the incidence of intestinal adhesion.
