Event Description
Title: endoloops in laparoscopic appendicectomy: a retrospective, cost effectiveness analysis.The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate whether a significant difference in complication rate exists where different numbers of endoloop ligatures have been applied to the appendiceal base during laparoscopic appendicectomy, and to analyse for potential cost saving.Between january 1st to december 31st, 2020, a total 195 patients who underwent appendicectomy were included in the study.The particular device used is the ethicon endoloop® ligature made with pds® ii.Among the patients, one endoloop was used in 133 patients while two endoloops were used in 62.Reported complications include postoperative pain (n=6), postoperative collection (n=6) requiring radiologically-guided drainage in 2 patients or laparotomy and washout in 1.In conclusion, our study set out to assess whether the complication rate differs in cases where one or two endoloops have been applied.Retrospective statistical analysis found no significant difference between groups.Therefore, we recommend use of one endoloop to secure the base in laparoscopic appendicectomy.
