Article Abstract
The laparoscopic appendectomy approach (LAA) for acute appendicitis has fewer intra- and post-operative complications, less pain, and smaller scars compared to the traditional open appendectomy approach (OAA), but a higher frequency of intra-abdominal abscess (IAA). The relationship between this higher frequency of IAA and the omission of appendicular stump invagination is difficult to explain, even though such invagination of the appendicular stump is the only difference between standard LAA and OAA.

However, in this study, we identified the root of the appendix via computed tomography, made an incision around that sites, and performed the appendicectomy through this incision.
