The Outcomes of Single-Incision Pediatric Endosurgery Appendectomy (SIPESA) Performed by Surgical Residents in Comparison to Conventional Laparoscopy

Background: The outcome of SIPESA performed by surgical residents is explored once in the literature. Up to our knowledge, this is the first study comparing the outcome of SIPESA versus conventional laparoscopic appendectomy (CLA) performed by the surgical residents in two training centers. Aim: To assess the outcome of appendectomy performed by surgical residents. Comparing the outcome between SIPESA at King Fahd Armed Forces Hospital (KFAFH), Jeddah versus CLA at Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC), Riyadh.
