COMPARITIVE STUDY OF OPEN vs LAPAROSCOPIC APPENDICECTOMY IN ACUTE APPENDICITIS

Abstract

Acute appendicitis is one of the most common causes of abdominal pain that requires emergency surgery, and its treatment has evolved over time. Traditionally, open appendectomy, first described by McBurney, has been the standard approach for removing an inflamed appendix. This technique involves making an incision in the lower right side of the abdomen to access and remove the appendix.
