Abstract

The study compared the results of single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy (SILA) using Glove-Port and three-port laparoscopic appendectomy (TLA). We conducted a retrospective clinical intervention research with a total of 140 patients divided into two groups with an equal number of patients. This research was done at Bach Mai Hospital between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022. The severity of grade IV and V appendicitis was more significant in the TLA versus SILA group (22.8% vs 8.5%, p = 0.020). The SILA and TLA groups' hospitalisation stay was 2.8 vs 3.7 days, respectively (p = 0.020). There was no difference between the two groups in terms of operation time (40.8 vs 42 minutes, p = 0.693), surgical conversion rate (2.8% vs 0%, p = 0.496), morbidity (1.4% vs 2.9%, p = 0.513) and wound infection (2.9% vs 4.3%, p = 1,000). The time period to the resumption of oral intake of the TLA and SILA groups was 2.2 vs 1.5 days, respectively (p = 0.000). The operating duration of the SILA group decreased after the first 20 cases to 48.3, 39, 36.8 and 37.3 minutes, respectively. The results showed that transferring laparoscopic surgery from conventional three-port laparoscopic appendectomy to SILA using a Glove-Port is feasible and effective in treating acute appendicitis. However, single-incision laparoscopic should be indicated for cases without severe complications.
