Abstract

BACKGROUND: Stump closure is the most important part of a laparoscopic appendectomy (LA). Closing the appendix base with knot tying is the most cost-effective method. The defined risk factor for surgical site infection (SSI) after LA is the contamination of trocar entry area by inflamed appendicitis. This study aims to compare the single and double knot technique for stump control and specimen removal methods in LA.
