Abstract Summary
Minimally invasive techniques are transforming appendicitis treatment globally. Laparoscopic appendectomy is now the gold standard, offering faster recovery and fewer complications than traditional open surgery. Newer approaches like robotic-assisted and endoscopic procedures show promise but face barriers including high costs and technical complexity, especially in low-resource settings.
