Abstract

Acute appendicitis is a common cause of acute abdominal pain and is one of the most common abdominal surgical emergencies. In the past, the treatment of acute appendicitis consisted of open appendectomy through a small skin incision in the right lower abdominal quadrant. In some cases of perforated appendic it is with diffuse peritonitis, median laparoto my wasper formed with appendectomy, irrigation and drainage of the abdominal cavity. Now a days, surgical treatment of acute appendicits has shifted from open appendectomy to laparoscopic appendectomy in adults and in pediatricpatients [1].
