Appendicectomy is the most common surgical procedure. Conventional laparoscopic appendicectomy being time-tested, attempts were made to make it less invasive. Single-incision laparoscopic appendicectomy is the most recent trend. The present study is conducted with the aim to compare surgical outcomes between single-incision laparoscopic appendicectomy using conventional instruments and glove-port (SILACIG) with conventional multiport laparoscopic appendicectomy (CMLA).  Materials and methods  A total of 80 patients with appendicitis were recruited and underwent SILACIG (n=40) and CMLA (n=40). They were monitored for operative time, time of oral intake, pain on the second postoperative day, day of discharge, return to work, and scar size after two months.  Results  There was no significant difference between SILACIG and CMLA in terms of the time of oral intake, day of discharge, and return to work. Operative time was significantly more in the SILACIG group as compared to CMLA. Pain on the second postoperative day was less than CMLA, and the size of the operative scar was significantly smaller than 2 cm in the SILACIG group as compared to the CMLA group.  Conclusion  SILACIG is a feasible, safe, and cost-effective technique. It is comparable with CMLA in terms of preoperative diagnosis, postoperative oral intake, hospitalization period, and return to work. It shows less pain on the second postoperative day and cosmetic benefit but requires more operative time than CMLA.
