TULAA or Transumbilical Laparoscopic Assisted Appendicectomy is a minimally invasive technique described by Pelosi in 1992 for the removal of the inflamed appendix. Its main advantage is the possibility of exploring the peritoneal cavity and performing a simple and safe extracorporeal appendicectomy. Since its first description, different authors reported their experience with such technique. The aim of this review is to summarise the surgical outcomes currently reported in the literature for this minimally invasive surgical approach and compare it with standard open and laparoscopic appendicectomy.

— Analysing material and world-wide urologic laparoscopie surgery experience, the Authors try to define, also according to their experience, the indications for which the laparoscopic technique is established and well accepted and, on the contrary, those which are still controversial. Critical evaluation about laparoscopic surgery indications are often supported by the costs of the “minimally invasive” technique compared to the traditional surgical approach.
