Laparoscopy for Acute Appendicitis.

The "classical" symptoms of appendicitis are rarely found, and this most common of surgical emergencies can present a diagnostic conundrum. Laparoscopy was originally used as a diagnostic aid in acute appendicitis, but since the early 1980s, it has been a vehicle for removal of the diseased organ. The literature reviewed and a rationale for the role of this endoscopic technique are discussed.
