Introduction:

Laparoscopic appendectomy( LA) is done for appendicitis. The aim of this study was to compare the use of endolop  andendoclip(titanium clip) for stump closure during LA. The study was carried out in tertiary care hospital between June 2016 to June 2018–08–06.

Materials and methods:

Sixty patient under LA were enrolled and 30 patients undergo endoclips or endoloop for the stump closure. The results in terms of operative time, stump diameter, stump closure time, hospital stay were compared between two groups. after collecting all data, were analysed with SPSS.

Results:

The mean age was 25.1±12.44 for endoloop and 25.8±10.91 for endoclips.The mean operating time was 43.46±8.34 for endoloop and 39.76±7.69 for endoclip.The mean stump diameter was 11.03±0.78mm for endoclip.The stump closure time was 256.06sec for endoloop and 148.4±37.06sec for endoclip.There was no significant difference in hospital stay

Conclusion:

Endoclip application of the appendiceal base had significantly better results in terms of technical comfort and operating time in comparison with application of endoloop.Further studies are required to reach a final conclusion.
