[Appendectomy--classical or laparoscopic?].

The authors demonstrate on a group of 219 patients, who had in last two years the appendectomy performed, results of care while using open and laparoscopic technique. They compare these depending on chosen parameters, which is the usage of analgetic, the time patients have to stay in hospital after performed operation and comparison of spirometry within specific patients before and after operation. Based on these parameters the authors did not prove clear advantages of laparoscopic appendectomy.
