Abstract

The benefits and risks of laparoscopic incidental appendectomy are discussed. We believe a case for laparoscopic incidental appendectomy can be made for patients undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy for lower abdominal pain in whom either no cause is found, or in whom a cause other than appendicitis is discovered. No benefit from incidental appendectomy can be shown for patients undergoing laparoscopy for other disorders.
