Core Tip	Our experience and surgical technique suggest that laparoscopic appendectomy via reduced port surgery is a safe and feasible procedure for patients with appendicitis. Although the present study showed that this procedure offers cosmetic advantages and technical simplicity, the effectiveness and feasibility of this method should be assessed in randomized trials.
