Background:The present study was conducted for evaluating minimization of wound with the assistance of a needle grasper in single-incision Laparoscopic Appendectomy (SILA). Materials & Methods:A total of 30 appendectomies were SILA and 10 appendectomies were NASILA. NASILA involved creating a 12-mm umbilical incision and introducing a glove port. A needle grasper was then inserted through a 2.5-mm wound in the suprapubic area. In contrast, SILA entailed making a 2.5-cm transumbilical wound. The results were analyzed using SPSS software.Results:A total of 30 patients were enrolled in the SILA group, with a male proportion of 43.3%, and 10 patients were included in the NASILA group, with a male proportion of 50.0%. There was a notable difference in the distribution of appendicitis status between the two groups.Conclusion:NASILA exhibited higher operative convenience compared to SILA. |
