Closure of the Appendiceal Stump

Sponsor: Sezgin Topuz

Summary

Laparoscopic appendectomy is a well-defined surgical technique. However, concerns remain about whether closure of the appendiceal stump should be done with clips, endoloops, staples, or other techniques. If tying is to be used in the closure of the appendiceal stump, there is no consensus on which technique (intracorporoyal, extracorporoyal, etc.) should be used for ligation. For this reason, there is a need for studies on different binding techniques and instruments currently used. The aim of this study was to compare the use of unilateral intracorporeal knot and polymer endoclip closure during laparoscopic appendectomy.
