Abstract
To Immediate vs interval Lap Appendicectomy Benefits drawbacks and outcomes. One hundred ten patients of acute appendicitis of both genders were randomly divided into 2 groups of 55 each. In group I, immediate and in group II, interval Lap appendectomy was performed. Parameters such as operative time, hospital stay and adverse events in both groups were compared. The mean duration of symptoms was 3.2 days in group I and 3.4 days in group II. The mean operative time was 102.1 min in group I and 118.3 min in group II. The mean antibiotic duration was 13.2 days in group I and 15.4 days in group II. The mean hospital stay was 5.1 days in group I and 3.2 days in group II. The difference was significant (P<0.05). Adverse events reported were intra‐abdominal abscesses in 5 patients in group I and 12 patients in group II, wound infection in 2 patients in group I and 3 patients in group II, small bowel obstruction in 4 patients in group II, and recurrent appendicitis in 5 patients in group II. Readmission and increased cost/time was observed in 1 in group I and 3 patients in group II. A significant difference was observed in both groups (P<0.05). Immediate appendectomy found to be better in terms of early recovery, shorter hospital stay and less adverse events in comparison to interval appendectomy.
