Summary

Laparoscopic appendectomy (L-APPE) presents a golden standard in the treatment of acute appendicitis nowadays. However, there are ongoing controversies regarding the ideal technique of appendicular stump closure during L-APPE in the published literature. Several technical modifications of appendicular stump closure are available at the present - closure using endoloop, endostapler or Hem-o-lock clips. The aim of the proposed project (CAS study) is to compare medical and economic outcomes of patients undergoing L-APPE with different methods of appendicular stump closure (endostapler, endoloop and Hem-o-lock clips).
