Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To introduce the technique of laparoscopic incidental appendectomy using single loop during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery and to demonstrate the safety of it. METHODS: This was a retrospective case-controlled study of patients who did (n=52) or did not (n=52) undergo laparoscopic incidental appendectomy at the time of the same gynecologic laparoscopic surgery between March 2003 and February 2007. There was no difference in age, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, preoperative diagnosis. RESULTS: No significant differences were found between the two groups with respect to the duration of nothing per os (1.1 days vs 1.1 days), the duration of postoperative hospital stay (5.0 days vs 4.9 days), and the postoperative complications. 42.3% of the histologic specimens were abnormal and abnormal histologic results included fibrous obliteration(21.2%), endometriosis (9.6%), serositis (5.8%) and appendicitis (5.8%). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic incidental appendectomy using single loop during laparoscopic gynecologic surgery was not found to influence the duration of nothing per os, the duration of postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications, so it thought to be the safe procedure.
