Introduction: Appendicitis is the most common cause of abdominal pain and a prevalent reason for emergency surgery. Laparoscopic appendectomy is the method of choice, owing to its many advantages, less invasiveness, faster recovery and adequate exploration of the entire abdominal cavity than to observation in unequivocal cases. Laparoscopic surgery can serve as a diagnostic tool for patients with suspected acute appendicitis (AA), specially for female because of its low associated morbidity and mortality and it affords a direct diagnosis of the problem, allowing determination of the appropriate treatment. It is concluded that laparoscopic appendectomy should be offered as the method of choice in any patient population with suspicion of acute appendicitis. This study aim to evaluate the outcome and complications of laparoscopic appendectomies in Almak Nimir University Hospital Shendi University single centre experience. Material and Methods: This is a prospective observational hospital base study on patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis from January to June 2019 in Almak Nimir University Hospital Shendi University, Sudan. 143 patients underwent laparoscopic appendectomies for acute appendicitis or suspected acute appendicitis.Results: Out of the 143 patients analyzed, female predominant 124(86.7%) and male were 19 (13.3%). 5 cases (3.5%) were converted to open surgery, intraabdominal abscess encountered in 2 patients 1.4%. Surgical-site infection was observed in 6 patients (4.2%). The study showed statistically significant negative-positive appendectomy (normal appendix but another pathology found). Conclusions: Laparoscopic surgery can serve as a diagnostic tool for patients with suspected (AA) specially for female because of its low associated morbidity and mortality and it affords a direct diagnosis of the problem, allowing determination of the appropriate treatment. It is concluded that laparoscopic appendectomy should be offered as the method of choice in any patient population with suspicion of acute appendicitis.

Objective: To study the pattern and incidence of cancer in Shendi and Almatamma Localities, River Nile State, Sudan. Methods: The records of all confirmed cancer cases were retrieved and studied from the files of the histopathology, haematology and chemotherapy departments at El Mack Nimir University Hospital, Shendi, Sudan during the period June 2009 to December 2012. The major types of cancer were ranked in order of relative frequency rates, the mean age, age range; male to female ratio, the crude incidence rate and age standardised rate were calculated. Results: The numbers of patients included in the study were 365. The male were 141 patients and female were 224 patents. The male to female ratio was 1: 1.6. The mean age of overall age of presentation was 54.4 years. The range of patients’ age was 4 - 90 years. The incidence rate was 21.7 per 100,000. The age standardised rate was 194.4 per 100,000. The most common cancers irrespective of sex were breast, gastrointestinal tract, female genital tract, head and neck and Leukemias. In female the most common types were breast, female genital tract, gastrointestinal tract, head and neck and leukaemia. In male the most common cancers were gastrointestinal tract,prostate, leukaemia, head and neck and Lymphoma. Conclusion: The age standardised rate and cancers frequencies are compatible with the last World Health Organization records of cancer in North Africa. Thus the study data is representative to the Shendi and Almatamma localities population.
