ObjectiveTo observe and explore the clinical effect of small incision resection and traditional surgery in the treatment of appendicitis.MethodsFrom January to December 2016,72 patients with appendicitis treated in our hospital were selected as the study subjects.The patients were randomly divided traditional surgery group and small incision group,with 36 cases in each group.The patients in the traditional surgery group were given traditional surgery,and the patients in the small incision group were given small incision resection.The general situation of surgery,the incidence rate of complications,the recovery rate and the recurrence rate were observed and compared between the two groups.ResultsThe intraoperative blood loss was significantly less in the small incision group than in the traditional surgery group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The length of incision in the small incision group was significantly shorter than that in the traditional surgery group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The length of stay in the small incision group was significantly shorter than that in the traditional surgery group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The VAS score in the small incision group was significantly lower than that in the traditional surgery group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The time of exhaust in the small incision group was significantly shorter than that in the traditional surgery group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The cost of hospitalization in the small incision group was significantly lower than that in the traditional surgery group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The incidence rate of postoperative complications in the small incision group was significantly lower than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The postoperative cure rate was 100.00%in the small incision group,which was significantly better than that of 77.78%in traditional surgery group.The recurrence rate was 0.0%in the small incision group,which was significantly lower than that of 22.2%in the traditional surgery,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).ConclusionThe clinical curative effect of small incision resection in the treatment of appendicitis is significantly better than that in the traditional surgery group,which can improve the clinical symptoms,reduce the complications,improve the cure rate,and reduce the recurrence rate.The curative effect is significant,which is worthy of clinical application.
