Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of a Outpatient Appendectomy
This study evaluates the Safety and Efficacy of a outpatient appendectomy. Half of
 participants will be perform the hospitalization, while the other half will undergo the
 outpatient appendectomy
Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common causes of acute abdomen and one of the most
 frequent diagnoses that require urgent surgery worldwide.

 Many laparoscopic procedures are currently performed on an outpatient basis.Laparoscopic
 appendectomy, however, continues to require postoperative hospitalization averaging between 1
 and 2 days, at most institutions.

 At present ambulatory laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) are gained popularity due to the
 improved understanding of patient selection criteria, the application of enhanced recovery
 pathways, and the potential for improving healthcare resource utilization.

 There are few studies about to compare the morbidity and readmission rates between ambulatory
 and conventional LA.

 There is a lack of high-quality comparative studies making conclusive recommendations not
 possible at this time. Based on current data, ambulatory LA may be safe and feasible as
 compared with conventional LA.
