Impact of Trocar Position on Surgical Site Infection After Pediatric Laparoscopic Appendectomy: A 15-Year Single-Center Study
: LLQ 10 mm trocar placement site was associated with substantially lower SSI rates and shorter operative time compared with supraumbilical extraction, without increasing other postoperative complications. Extraction port selection may represent a simple technical measure to improve outcomes in pediatric laparoscopic appendectomy without requiring additional resources.
