Abstract：Objective To investigate the different influence of laparoscopic appendectomy and open appen-dectomy on inflammation. Methods A total of 160 cases of acute appendicitis were randomly divided into the lapa-roscopic appendectomy (LA group) and open appendectomy group (OA group). Each included 80 cases. The lev-els of CRP, IL-6, TNF alpha and WBC were measured before operation, 1, 3 day after operation were recorded. Operative duration, postoperative time for intestinal function recovery, hospital stay, hospital cost and postoperative complications were also compared between the two groups. Results The intestinal function recovery time and hospi-tal stay were markedly shorter in the LA group than in the OA group (P < 0.01). The circulating levels of the CRP, IL-6, TNF alpha and WBC were lower 1 and 3 days after operation in the LA group than those in the OA group (all P < 0.01). No complications occured in the two groups. Conclusion LA proves to have less impact on body injury than LA by protecting the immune function and assisting in the postoperative recovery.
