This study compares the effect the using metallic clips versus suture material in the ligation of appendicular stump in terms of length of surgery and associated intra-operative complications. The patients included will be within the age group of 15-60 years, with BMI of 18-28kg/m2, and with acute appendicitis of upto grade 3. The data will be analyzed using SPSS a p value of \<0.05 will be considered as statistically significant.
