Abstract
Background/Purpose: Similar to open appendectomy (OA), most of the methods described for laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) require two steps: (1) dissection and division of mesoappendix and (2) excision of appendix. Dissection of mesoappendix requires more skill and experience during LA. In single endoscopic GIA stapler laparoscopic appendectomy technique (SESLAT), both mesoappendix and base of appendix may be divided in one step with the application of a single endoscopic GIA stapler,
