We discuss a useful modification of trans-umbilical appendectomy for acute appendicitis using routine instruments.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>From August 2009 to March 2011, 164 patients were operated by this method at our rural center. Out of them, 102 were males and 62, females. Mean age for males was 27.5 years (range, 14-51) and females, 31.2 years (range, 17-48). Mean body mass index was 21.7 kg/m(2) (range, 16.2-29) and 23.2 kg/m(2) (range, 17.4-30) for males and females respectively.
