Abstract
Acute appendicitis is one of the most common inflammatory diseases of the abdominal cavity seen in all ages were diagnose sometime can be difficult in a clinical setting especially in females. The laparoscopic technique offers the advantage being used as a diagnostic tool were diagnose can be set by high accuracy in the acute abdomen when operation is indicated. In case of appendicitis it can be removed laparoscopically. The technique offers short duration of hospital stay, reduced analgesic consumption, early return to normal activities and favourable cosmetic results.
