Analysis of Endoloops, Endostaples and Endoclips for Closing the Appendiceal Stump During Laparoscopic Appendectomy
Analysis of Endoloops, Endostaples and Endoclips for Closing the Appendiceal Stump During Laparoscopic Appendectomy
In this randomized control trial the patients with acute appendicitis will be divided in
 three groups according to the management of the appendiceal stump(Endostapler, Endoloop or
 Endoclip). Pre-, peri- and postoperative data will be analysed.
Acute appendicitis is the most common indication for intraabdominal emergency surgery, and
 appendectomy is one of the most commonly performed procedures in abdominal surgery. Today
 laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) has the status of a ''Gold Standard'' treatment, and it is
 accepted as the treatment of choice for acute appendicitis.There are several ways of closing
 the appendiceal stump.An inadequate closure of the appendiceal stump can lead to morbidity of
 operated patients. The aim of this study is to assess the efficiency of different closure
 techniques by focusing on the intraoperative and postoperative complications.The patients
 will be divided into three groups based on the technique used for appendiceal stump closure,
 whether it is Endoloop, Endostapler or Endoclip. In the patients included in the study the
 investigators will analyse demographic data, peroperative laboratory values, clinical data
 and treatment outcomes. Also, the histopathological findings of the specimens and
 perioperative and postoperative complications will be analysed.
Inclusion Criteria:
