Laparoscopic appendectomy is a new surgical approach that emerged with the development of laparoscopic techniques. 1983 Semm reported the first case of laparoscopic removal of a non-acutely inflamed appendix, 4 years before laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In contrast, laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis was first reported by Semm in 1987. Numerous prospective, randomized controlled studies have confirmed the superiority of laparoscopic appendectomy over conventional open appendectomy for appendicitis in terms of shorter hospital stay, fewer postoperative complications, and faster recovery. In cases where the diagnosis cannot be confirmed before surgery, intraoperative exploration has a wider field of view than open surgery, and it is more superior for finding and removing retroperitoneal and subhepatic ectopic appendixes, which is more suitable for obese patients. It is a safe and reliable minimally invasive surgical method.
