Low-cost laparoscopic appendectomy in pediatric patients
Conclusion: Division of the mesoappendix using monopolar electrocautry and closing the base of appendix using handmade endloops during laporoscopic appendectomy appears to be a simple, effective, safe, and cost-efficient technique. Therefore, the use of more costly instruments, such as the endostapler, LigaSure, or Harmonic scalpel, seems unwarranted.
