Simple ligation of the appendix stump is as safe as inversion during appendicectomy. This faster, simpler technique preserves caecal anatomy, making it ideal for both open and laparoscopic procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal Surgery
  • Appendiceal Surgery

Background:

  • Traditional appendicectomy often involves appendix stump invagination.
  • Modern gastrointestinal surgery has largely moved away from stapler closure invagination.
  • The clinical efficacy of simple ligation versus stump invagination in appendicectomy remains a subject of investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the complication rates of simple ligation versus ligation and inversion of the appendix stump in patients undergoing appendicectomy.
  • To evaluate the technical advantages and anatomical impact of each technique.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study involving 200 patients with acute appendicitis.
  • Patients were randomized to either simple ligation or ligation and inversion of the appendix stump.

  • Complication rates were assessed and compared between the two treatment groups.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant difference in complication rates was observed between the simple ligation group and the ligation and inversion group.
    • The simple ligation technique was found to be simpler and faster to perform.
    • Simple ligation preserves the intact anatomy of the caecal wall.

    Conclusions:

    • Simple ligation of the appendix stump is a safe and effective alternative to stump invagination in appendicectomy.
    • The technique is recommended for both conventional and laparoscopic appendicectomy due to its simplicity, speed, and anatomical preservation.
    • Adoption of simple ligation can streamline appendicectomy procedures without compromising patient safety.
