Laparoscopic appendicectomy in a female patient with situs inversus: case report and literature review.

A seventy-five-year-old female was referred by her general practitioner for management of a discharging sinus at the site of an open appendicectomy scar.

The first description of a laparoscopic appendicectomy in an adult population dates back to Semm in 1983 [3].

At laparoscopic appendicectomy the appendix looked mildly inflamed (Figs 3 and 4).

Most of the patients i.e 360 patients (80%) underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy while 90 patients (20%) had laparoscopic appendicectomy.

The patient had undergone appendicectomy 10 years back.

We gradually stripped the coated membrane, released the small intestine, to make sure the small intestine regained its normal anatomy status and location, and we did appendicectomy at the same time that appendix was obvious fibrosis, umbilical hernia repair was carried out in the end.

Objective: Despite the use of prophylactic antibiotics and sterilization techniques, rate of post appendicectomy wound infection is high.

Appendicectomy is the most common emergency surgical procedure performed worldwide.

The common procedures performed include: herniorrhaphy, appendicectomy, caesarean section, myomectomy, prostatectomy and exploratory laparotomy (Table 1).

Although there has been a controversy at the beginning, laparoscopic appendicectomy (LA) has become common and an acceptable approach in the management of acute appendicitis [5].

In a statement read to the inquest, Mr Hosny said: "During the procedure I noted that there was minimal blood, yet as it was a small amount I was not concerned and continued to perform the appendicectomy."

The definitive treatment of acute appendicitis is appendicectomy. If timely appendectomy is not done, 2-6% of the patients develop a mass in the right iliac fossa (Appendicular lump) as one of the early complications.
