COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LAPAROSCOPIC VS. TRADITIONAL SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS FOR ACUTE APPENDICITIS

Abstract

Laparoscopy, also known as minimally invasive surgery, represents a revolution in modern medicine, offering significant advantages over traditional surgical methods. By using small incisions and specialized instruments, including a camera, laparoscopy allows surgeons to perform complex surgical procedures with high precision and minimal tissue damage. The main advantages of laparoscopy include a lower risk of infections, faster recovery, reduced hospital stays, and quicker return to daily activities for patients. This method is used in a wide range of surgical interventions, including abdominal, cardiological, and gynecological procedures. Although laparoscopy has enormous benefits, its application requires highly skilled personnel and specialized equipment. Future innovations in technology, such as robotic surgery and advanced visualization systems, have the potential to complement and enhance the effectiveness of laparoscopic procedures. Laparoscopy continues to be a key factor in the advancement of surgery, with a significant impact on patients' quality of life and surgical outcomes.Therefore, the focus of this research is to demonstrate that laparoscopic interventions, in comparison to traditional methods, are increasingly applied in abdominal surgery. This research will present statistical data from completed surgical patients over a one-year period at the General Hospital "Clinical Hospital" Stip.
