Introduction: This study compares laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) and open appendectomy (OA) in Pakistani patients, focusing on operative time, blood loss, postoperative pain, recovery time, and complications. LA is recognized for its minimally invasive benefits, whereas OA is a conventional approach. Methodology: In Fauji Foundation Hospital Peshawar Cantt, we undertook a randomized controlled experiment with eighty patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis. Patients were paired randomly to either LA or OA. We recorded operating time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain (visual analog scale), analgesic use, hospital stay, and complications. The groups' outcomes were compared using statistical analyses comprising chi-square tests and t-tests. Results: With LA (72.5 ± 15.3 minutes) the mean operative time was noticeably longer than OA (58.7 ± 12.9 minutes, p = 0.001). With less blood loss (45.2 ± 10.1 mL) LA produced than OA (78.4 ± 15.7 mL, p < 0.001). For LA (VAS 3.2 ± 1.1) postoperative pain levels were much lower than for OA (VAS 5.6 ± 1.3, p = 0.001). Apart from OA (4.5 ± 1.1 days, p < 0.001) and a quicker resumption to activities (8.6 ± 2.3 days vs. 15.2 ± 3.1 days, p < 0.001), LA patients had shorter hospital stays (2.3 ± 0.8 days). Though LA had less problems, this difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: reduced discomfort, shorter hospital stays, and reduced infections are only a few of the major benefits laparoscopic appendectomy offers over traditional appendectomy. LA speeds up recovery even with a longer operational time. Longer follow-up and more study with bigger samples are advised.
