1.	Appendicitis 07/01/2008 - "BACKGROUND: Despite its increasing popularity, laparoscopic appendectomy does not put an unanimous end to the answer to the best treatment for appendicitis" 01/01/1996 - "In a clear situs the laparoscopic appendectomy with the RODER-loop with manual stump-sinking is recommended; in cases with a difficult preparation or advanced appendicitis the application of the Endo-GIA is a safe technique with the best results." 05/01/1995 - "Laparoscopic appendectomy is presently at the efficacy stage of development, because most of the data on feasibility and safety originate from centers with special interest in endoscopic surgery: it is not yet the gold standard for acute appendicitis" 12/01/2002 - "CONCLUSION: The implementation of an imaging protocol using US and CT resulted in a marked decrease in the perforation and negative appendectomy rates in children with suspected appendicitis." 11/01/2001 - "CONCLUSION: In comparison with open appendectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy (by itself and in an intention-to-treat view) leads to a significant reduction of early postoperative complications in complicated appendicitis and therefore should be considered as the procedure of choice."

3.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 09/01/2003 - "Though limited by its initial retrospective character, the present study shows that minilaparoscopic appendectomy is as safe and effective as classical laparoscopic surgery, and seems to be associated with less trauma and a more rapid postoperative recovery" 10/01/2003 - "CONCLUSION: Even if limited by its retrospective nature, the present experience shows that laparoscopic appendectomy is as safe and effective as conventional surgery, has a higher diagnostic yield, causes less trauma, and offers a more rapid postoperative recovery" 03/01/2000 - "Despite the limitations of a retrospective investigation, on the basis of our experience we believe that laparoscopic appendectomy is as safe and effective as conventional surgery, presents a higher degree of diagnostic accuracy and makes for less trauma and a more rapid postoperative recovery" 07/01/2008 - "STUDY DESIGN: All patients admitted through the emergency department of a Level I trauma center who underwent appendectomies between March 2005 and May 2006 (Trauma period) were identified" 08/01/2005 - "PURPOSE: The present study aimed to evaluate laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) in comparison with conventional open appendectomy (OA) in children, with special emphasis on the extent of surgical trauma after LA and OA, and to assess whether LA had any clear advantages compared with conventional OA" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...

5.	Abscess 01/01/2007 - "Pathogens were usually polymicrobial, and appendectomy followed by adequate drainage of the abscess was the best treatment" 10/01/2003 - "The objective of this study is to compare immediate appendectomy (IMM APP) versus expectant management (EXP MAN) including percutaneous drainage with or without interval appendectomy to treat periappendiceal abscess" 05/01/2003 - "BACKGROUND: Studies comparing intraabdominal abscess (IAA) rates following laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) and open appendectomy (OA) have shown conflicting results" 08/01/2000 - "METHODS: This study analyzes the data for 10 patients who underwent interval laparoscopic appendectomy 8-10 weeks following documented periappendicular abscess in the period between January 1996 and June 1998" 05/01/1997 - "The aim of this study was to analyze retrospectively our experience with this disease to value the results of drainage of the abscess and appendectomy in one stage in presence of appendiceal abscesses" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
