Peritonitis from Perforated Appendicitis: Stress Response after Laparoscopic or Open Treatment

Abstract: Elevated intra-abdominal pressure during laparoscopy may promote systemic inflammatory response. In patients with generalized peritonitis from perforated appendicitis, we sought to compare acute phase response and immunologic status from laparoscopic and open approach. One hundred and forty-seven consecutive patients underwent appendectomy for perforated appendicitis (73 patients had laparoscopic appendectomy and 74 patients had open appendectomy. Bacteremia, endotoxemia, white blood cells, peripheral lymphocy… Show more

“…A reduced inflammatory response has been considered an advantage of laparoscopy compared with open surgery. A reduced inflammatory response has been found following minimally invasive colorectal surgery, 8 cholecystectomy, 9 appendectomy, 10 perforated ulcer repair, 11 and lung resection, 12 when compared with open procedures. Decreased interleukin 6 (IL-6) after laparoscopic surgery was the most consistent finding in these studies.…”

“…Four of which were randomized controlled trials (RCT). Three of the RCTs were from a single hospital comparing open surgery versus laparoscopy for treating perforated appendicitis, perforated peptic ulcer, or cholecystitis with sepsis [ 120 122 ]. Bakker et al .…”

“…In patients with PPU, mortality is associated with sepsis and inflammation. Because inflammation has been alleviated after elective laparoscopic surgery 47 48 , this minimally invasive approach for PPU, which is an emergency condition, is correlated more closely with patient risk factors than surgical complications 49 . Thus, the selection bias of patients may lead to a higher mortality rate after OR.…”
