Closure of the Appendix Stump in Laparoscopic Appendectomy
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Appendicitis, Surgery
- Registration Number
- NCT03930667
- Lead Sponsor
- Orhan Üreyen
- Brief Summary
Aimed to the study evaluate the superiority of intracorporal sutures and Hem-o-lok clips in terms of efficiency.
- Detailed Description
Performed laparoscopic surgery for acute appendicitis. Appendiceal stump was closed by Hem-o-lok clips (Group I) and intracorporal knotting (Group II) in a randomize manner. Groups were compared for cost effectiveness.
