Influence of the Different Ways of Appendix Stump Closure on Patient Outcome in Laparoscopic Appendectomy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating E group, S group, and 6 other interventions for Appendicitis. Completed, enrolled 120 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
During laparoscopic appendectomy, the base of the appendix is usually secured by an endoloop ligature or the stapler. Non-absorbable plastic hem-o-lok clip was shown as an alternative technique with which laparoscopic appendectomy was done faster and cheaper than the standard techniques. However, biocompatibility of different materials udes in securing the base of appendix is different. It was observed that stapler's clips made by titanium caused the mildest inflammatory reaction and creation of adhesions. Disadvantages of stapler's are their high price. Titanium clips made for the use in laparoscopic appendectomy are safe and effective option in securing the appendicular stump in laparoscopic appendectomy. They have potential advantages over stapler, because they have the same bio compatibility, and their price is lower.
