Abstract
Most frequent abdominal pathology requiring emergent surgery is acute appendicitis. Laparoscopic Appendectomy has been performed for acute appendicitis treatment since 1983. Closure of stump of appendix is important for prevention of severe post operative complications. Different methods are described for closure such as; stapler, endoloop, titanium clips, non absorbable polymer clips (hem o lock clip), hand made loop, ligasure usage or just cutting with bipolar cautery. It is unclear that which method is most appropriate. In researches, all methods are reported as safe but some have higher costs, some prolongs duration of operation. In this article we reviewed clinical and experimental studies about different methods of stump closure, and we tried to compare advantage of methods in between.
