Introduction: Acute appendicitis is the most common general surgical emergency. Appendicectomy is the treatment of choice for acute appendicitis and the most commonly performed emergency abdominal operation. Open appendectomy is found safe and effective operation with low morbidity but found to be associated with post operative pain, wound infection and complications like intestinal obstruction which may delay recovery. Laparoscopic appendectomy emerged as a good option for treatment of appendicitis. The purpose of this study was to compare the laparoscopic versus open approach among patients with appendicitis in our centre.
