ABSTRACT
Between May 2009 and February 2012,60 patients scheduled for laparoscopic appendectomy were randomly assigned to receive either transumbilical single-port laparoscopic appendectomy (TUSPLA) or three-port laparoscopic appendectomy (TPLA).The operative duration was significantly longer in TUSPLA than TPLA cases.No statistically significant differences existed in hospital stay,visual analog scale (VAS) score,analgesia requirement or complication rate.The abdominal scar was inconspicuous for TUSPLA.It suggested that TUSPLA with conventional instrumentation is technically feasible and safe with scarless healing.
