Laparoscopic Appendectomy

Advances in surgical procedures that are minimally invasive to treat appendicitis have decreased the prevalence and incidence of appendicitis globally. One such procedure that is minimally invasive is laparoscopic appendectomy. A laparoscopic appendectomy is a procedure to remove the appendix through several small incisions in the abdomen.
