Possibilities of endovideosurgery to bypass appendicular peritonitis. Literature review

An analysis of modern literature and our own clinical experience suggests that the use of laparoscopic methods in the surgical treatment of acute appendicitis complicated by peritonitis has proven advantages over open surgery. The key to successful treatment of patients is reliable elimination of the source of peritonitis — performing an adequate appendectomy. Early laparoscopic debridement for postoperative peritonitis can be an alternative to non-surgical treatment and delayed intervention. The success of the laparoscopic approach depends not only on technical aspects, but also on the correct determination of indications and contraindications for surgery.
