Outcome of Laparoscopic Appendicectomy Versus Open Appendicectomy in Sudanese Patients

Outcome of Laparoscopic Appendicectomy Versus Open Appendicectomy in Sudanese Patients: Cross-sectional Study

Background: Laparoscopic appendectomy as a minimal invasive procedure had low morbidity and mortality. It affords a direct diagnosis of the problem, allows determination of the appropriate treatment. Open appendectomy is global treatment of acute appendicitis can be done by many incisions, and associated with considerable complications.
