Objective To analyze the value of laparoscopic appendectomy in the treatment of acute appendicitis. Methods A total of 120 patients with acute appendicitis were selected and divided into two groups according to odd-even numbering, with 60 cases in the general group and 60 cases in the study group. The general group underwent open surgery, while the study group underwent laparoscopic appendectomy. All patients were enrolled from September 2014 to September 2024. Recovery outcomes were compared, inflammatory factors were analyzed, and safety was evaluated. Results The study group had shorter times for getting out of bed, bowel sound recovery, first flatus, and defecation, while these times were longer in the general group. The NRS scores 12 hours postoperatively were lower in the study group and higher in the general group, P<0.05. The preoperative CRP, WBC, and neutrophil ratio showed little difference between the study group and the general group, P>0.05; 24 hours after surgery, there was a significant decrease in CRP, WBC, and neutrophil ratio. When comparing between groups, the study group had a lower level, while the general group had a higher level, P<0.05. Safety analysis based on complications showed a lower incidence in the study group (3.33%, 2/60) and a higher incidence in the general group (16.67%, 10/60), P<0.05. Conclusion After laparoscopic appendectomy, patients with acute appendicitis experience a significantly shorter recovery period, rapid pain relief, fewer complications, and milder inflammatory stimulation, indicating its potential for wider application.
