First seen Apr 03, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tested a newer, gentler laparoscopic technique called low impact laparoscopy (LIL) for removing the appendix. LIL uses smaller incisions and lower gas pressure during surgery compared to the standard method. The goal was to see if it reduces pain after surgery and shortens hospital stay. Fifty adults with uncomplicated appendicitis took part, and their pain and recovery were tracked for 30 days.
