Abstract

Background

The role of laparoscopic treatment in acute appendicitis still is unclear. Although some evidence in the literature suggests diagnostic benefits from laparoscopy for young women with suspected acute appendicitis, there is scepticism about the utility of this approach for men. This study aimed to compare open and laparoscopic appendectomy performed for men with suspected acute appendicitis.

Methods

All male patients older than 15 years with an American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) classification of 3 or less, no previous abdominal surgery, and no contraindication for pneumoperitoneum were prospectively randomized to undergo either open appendectomy (OA) or laparoscopic appendectomy (LA). The primary end point was a detected difference in postoperative hospital length of stay, and the secondary end points were detected differences in postoperative analgesia, morbidity, and length of the recovery period.

Results

In this study, 147 men with suspected acute appendicitis were randomized to either OA (n = 75) or LA (n = 72). It took longer to perform LA (60 min; range, 20–120 min vs. 45 min; range, 20–90 min; p = 0.0027), and LA did not result in any significant difference for the parameters evaluated.

Conclusion

The postoperative length of hospital stay did not differ significantly between OA and LA for men. Laparoscopic appendectomy required more time and did not offer any advantages compared with OA.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
