目的:探讨小切口阑尾切除术治疗急性阑尾炎的临床效果。方法:选择我院自2010年1月～2012年2月收治的阑尾炎患者60例,随机分为观察组和对照组各30例。观察组采用小切口阑尾切除术治疗,对照组采用传统阑尾切除术治疗,比较2组患者手术所需时间、住院天数、术后感染等情况。结果:观察组手术所需时间、住院天数显著短于对照组,观察组的术后感染情况明显低于对照组,2组比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:小切口阑尾切除术较传统阑尾切除术更有利于患者的术后恢复。具有手术操作简单、切口小、创伤小、痛苦少、切口感染机会小、患者恢复快等优点,已成为当今治疗阑尾切除术的首选方法,值得临床推广应用。 Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of small incision appendectomy in the treatment of acute appendicitis. Methods: Sixty patients with appendicitis who were admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to February 2012 were randomly divided into observation group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases). The observation group was treated with small incision appendectomy, while the control group was treated with traditional appendectomy. The time required for operation, length of hospital stay, and postoperative infection were compared between the two groups. Results: The operation time and length of hospital stay in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group. The postoperative infection in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups (P <0.05). Conclusion: Small incision appendectomy is more beneficial to patients’ postoperative recovery than traditional appendectomy. With the advantages of simple operation, small incision, less trauma, less pain, less chance of incision infection and quick recovery of the patient, it has become the preferred method for the treatment of appendectomy today, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
