ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying different ways to close the appendiceal stump, which is the end of the appendix that is left behind after an appendectomy (surgery to remove the appendix). Researchers want to compare two techniques: one that involves tying a knot inside the body and another that uses a special clip to close the stump. The goal is to find out which method works better during laparoscopic appendectomy, a minimally invasive surgery.

To participate in this trial, you need to be diagnosed with acute appendicitis, which means you have an inflamed appendix that needs to be removed. Unfortunately, people with certain conditions, like bleeding disorders or severe liver disease, won't be able to join. If you take part, you'll help researchers understand the best way to perform this important surgery, which could lead to better outcomes for future patients. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, so keep an eye out for updates if you're interested!
