Abstract:
:We present the first two cases of acute neonatal appendicitis operated on through the laparoscopic approach. Acute neonatal appendicitis is uncommon and rarely considered by clinicians when assessing the neonatal acute abdomen. Our two cases demonstrate the potential value of diagnostic laparoscopy in the acute neonatal abdomen that poses a diagnostic dilemma. Furthermore, technical modifications of well-established laparoscopic techniques in the older child enable its use in neonates as a therapeutic tool.
