Comparison of Laproscopic Surgery Versus Traditional Laprotomy for the Treatment of Emergency Patients

Abstract

Background-To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic gastrointestinal emergency surgery and postoperative complications. Methods-Data for 604 patients undergoing emergency gastrointestinal surgery between between January 2020 and December 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Treatment efficacy and postoperative complications were compared between 300 patients (control group) undergoing traditional laparotomy and 304 patients (observation group) undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Results- The total complication incidence in the observation group was 3.9%, compared with 16% in the control group (16%). No significant differences in direct medical costs were recorded between the observation and control groups. Conclusions-For patients undergoing emergency gastrointestinal surgery, laparoscopic surgery resulted in better clinical outcomes than traditional laparotomy without incurring additional costs.
