Evaluation of intracorporeal knotting and endoloop closure in laparoscopic appendicectomy

ConclusionIn our study, both the intracorporeal knotting and endoloop closure technique were safe, successful and feasible. We concluded that if the patient cannot afford the harmonic-like material, silk could be used for the base of the appendix. Hence, in rural locations or where instruments are not affordable to the surgeon, or in financially compromised patients, silk can be used without any complication.
