ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of the present study was to review a new laparoscopic technique for treatment of appendicitis. An earlier pilot study indicated the safety of the technique in addition to saved time and cost. MATERIAL ANDMETHOD:
The electronic records were analyzed on appendix surgeries performed at our hospital between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2011.RESULTS:
The 91 patients who had an appendiceal stump closure using clips (viz., the Hem-o-lock clip) had a significantly shorter surgery and hospitalization than those whose appendiceal stump was closed using the standard loop strap (Endo-loop).CONCLUSION:
The complications between groups were not significantly different and were treated in both groups using conservative management.
