Comparison of Intracorporeal Knot-tying Suture (Polyglactin) and Titanium Endoclips in Laparoscopic Appendiceal Stump Closure

Abstract

In laparoscopic appendectomy, using a titanium endoclip for optimizing and controlling the appendiceal stump closure is safe and is associated with shorter operation time. This also simplifies the procedure, so it can be a useful alternative to intracorporeal knot-tying for appendiceal stump closure.
