A new automatic stapling device, Multifire Endo-GIA 30, proved safe and effective for laparoscopic appendectomy. This technique offers a simple method for surgeons performing appendectomies with no complications observed.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic appendectomy is a common surgical procedure.
  • Standard techniques for appendiceal stump closure can vary.
  • The need for safe and efficient instrumentation in laparoscopic surgery is ongoing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the applicability and safety of the Multifire Endo-GIA 30 stapling device for laparoscopic appendectomy.
  • To assess the efficacy of this automated stapler in occluding the appendiceal stump.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective analysis of data from 40 patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy.
  • Utilized the Multifire Endo-GIA 30 device, passed through a 12-mm trocar sleeve.
  • The device compresses the appendix and staples the stump with titanium fasteners.

Main Results:

  • Mean operation time was 58.33 minutes (range: 35-95 minutes).
  • No complications or mortality were reported in the study cohort.
  • Histological confirmation of appendicitis in 36 cases (35 acute, 1 chronic); 4 cases showed no inflammation.

Conclusions:

  • The Multifire Endo-GIA 30 is a simple and safe device for laparoscopic appendectomy.
  • Preliminary results indicate its effectiveness in managing the appendiceal stump.
  • This stapling device may offer an advantageous alternative for this procedure.
