Study on learning curve of laparoscopic appendectomy
Objective To evaluate the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic appendectomy and to investigate the key points for the beginner surgeons of laparoscopic appendectomy to shorten the learning curve quickly. Methods Clinical data of 30 cases which received laparoscopic appendectomy performed by the same group of the surgeons without any laparoscopic operations were reviewed. The cases were divided into 3 groups(group A, B and C) according to the sequence of the operation. The operation time, blood loss, complications and hospital stay were compared among the 3 groups. Results The operating time, blood loss in group A were significant longer or higher than those in group B and C. while no significant differences were found between the group B and C. Conclusions For the beginner, laparoscopic appendectomy is a good training way. The learning curve is a approximately 10 cases.
