The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of NA in young patients under 40\u2009years of age whose cosmesis matters with appendicitis by comparing it to conventional laparoscopic appendectomy (CLA).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed our database looking for patients under 40\u2009years of age diagnosed with appendicitis who underwent NA or CLA from January 2013 to April 2017. Patients were divided into two groups: the NA group, and the CLA group. Data collected from each group included age, gender, body mass index, preoperative C\u2010reactive protein, emergency or non\u2010emergency settings, operative time, postoperative length of stay, postoperative complications, and pathological diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifty\u2010four patients underwent NA and 53 patients underwent CLA. The groups were similar in terms of demographic features. Pathological diagnoses were divided into the following categories: catarrhalis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a035), phlegmonous (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a037), and gangrenous (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a035).
