Comparing two sealing methods in laparoscopic appendix surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding when removing the appendix through small incisions (laparoscopic appendectomy). It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for people with uncomplicated appendicitis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 70 years old.
- You must have simple (uncomplicated) acute or chronic appendicitis.
- You must NOT have complex appendicitis (like a mass or abscess).
- You must NOT have serious health issues like advanced liver disease, bleeding disorders, heart problems, or inflammatory bowel disease.

This trial compares two ways to close the base of the appendix during keyhole surgery (laparoscopic appendectomy). It aims to find out which method, using a small metal clip or using a stitch (suture), leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
This study compares two ways of numbing the belly during laparoscopic appendix removal in children. It aims to find which method gives better pain relief after surgery.
This trial compares two ways to close the stump of the appendix during laparoscopic (minimally invasive) appendix removal: using clips versus tying a knot. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients with simple appendicitis.
This trial compares two ways of doing emergency appendix removal surgery for people with a burst appendix and widespread infection in the belly. It looks at whether doing the surgery with small incisions (laparoscopic) is just as good as the traditional larger incision.
This study compares two ways of closing the skin after an open appendectomy (removing the appendix through a small cut in the belly). One method uses interrupted stitches, and the other uses a continuous stitch under the skin. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing and fewer complications.
This trial compares two different air pressures used during laparoscopic appendix surgery to see if one leads to better outcomes. If you're having this surgery, the pressure level could affect your recovery, and this study aims to find which is safer and more effective.
