Key Words	Appendicitis; Mini-incision open appendectomy; Laparoscopic surgical procedure; Abdominal abscess; Surgical wound infections
Core Tip	Although several studies have weighed the advantages of laparoscopic procedures in the last 20 years, laparoscopic appendectomy is still not accepted as a standard management for acute appendicitis due to its longer operation time and higher cost. In the literature, there are few studies on surgical treatment comparing laparoscopic and mini-incision open appendectomy.
