Should I have laparoscopic surgery or general surgery for appendicitis

Most patients with appendicitis can have laparoscopic surgery or general open surgery, and there is no difference in the treatment results between the two. If the patient is financially able and the operating hospital is equipped for laparoscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery is recommended. Because the incision of laparoscopic surgery is smaller, and the effect of laparoscopic surgery on postoperative intestinal adhesions is relatively small, the postoperative recovery is relatively fast. However, the cost of laparoscopic surgery is relatively expensive due to more consumables and the need to form a pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic surgery, so general anesthesia is required.
