Abstract

Complicated appendicitis, which includes gangrenous, perforated, or abscess-forming appendicitis, poses 
a significant challenge in surgical practice due to increased risk of postoperative complications and 
prolonged hospital stay. Appendectomy, either open or laparoscopic, remains the standard treatment. While 
laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) is increasingly performed for uncomplicated cases, its role in complicated 
appendicitis continues to be debated, particularly in terms of clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
