BACKGROUND: Benefits of laparoscopic surgery in the management of @entity344 caused by @entity30 need to be fully elucidated. We conducted this retrospective study to investigate the safety and feasibility and emphasize the advantages of laparoscopy compared with that of laparotomy for @entity1 with @entity344 caused by @entity30 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 1213 @entity1 with @entity344 in our center were screened, and 318 qualified @entity1 were enrolled and divided into laparoscopy (n  =  122) and laparotomy (n  =  196) groups. @entity260 , length of hospital stay, systemic stress responses to surgery, postoperative mortality, and economic burden were collected and compared. RESULTS: A total of 125 laparoscopic interventions were performed with a conversion rate of 20.0%. Fifteen versus 84 @entity260 were obtained in laparoscopy and laparotomy groups, respectively (P  =  0.0033). Total hospitalization was 22.7  d and 38.0  d in laparoscopy and laparotomy groups, respectively (P  <  0.0001). Postoperative hospitalization was 10.9  d and 24.8  d in two groups, respectively (P  <  0.0001). Elevation curve of serum @entity1851 and procalcitonin in response to laparoscopy was significantly lower than that to laparotomy. Reduced postoperative mortality (P  =  0.0292) and postoperative cost (P  =  0.0292) were observed in laparoscopy instead of laparotomy group. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic approach is safe and feasible and could improve clinical outcome in @entity344 @entity1 with @entity30 .
