    Area of Science:

    • Gynecological surgery
    • Minimally invasive procedures
    • Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Traditional appendectomy can be challenging with specific gynecological indications.
    • Adhesions, pelvic endometriosis, and anatomical variations complicate standard appendectomies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate novel endoscopic hemostasis techniques in gynecology.
    • To demonstrate the feasibility of endoscopic appendectomy for challenging indications.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized endoscopic methods including Roeder-loop ligation, endoligature, and intra/extracorporeal knotting for hemostasis.
    • Employed a specialized instrument set allowing classical surgical steps (purse-string, Z-suture).
    • Sterilized resection points using endocoagulation (crocodile forceps) prior to appendix division.

    Main Results:

    • Established endoscopic appendectomy as a viable option for indications such as postoperative adhesions, elongated appendix, endometriosis, and chronic appendicitis.
    • Demonstrated that the endoscopic instrument set supports all essential steps of open appendectomy.
    • Successfully utilized endocoagulation for safe division and extraction of the appendix.

    Conclusions:

    • Newly developed endoscopic hemostasis techniques facilitate endoscopic appendectomy in gynecology.
    • These advanced endoscopic methods expand treatment options for complex appendiceal pathologies within the pelvis.
