U.S., Nov. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07937072) titled 'Single Versus Double Hem-o-lok Clip for Appendiceal Stump Closure in Laparoscopic Appendectomy' on Nov. 08.
Brief Summary: This quasi-randomized controlled trial compared the use of a single versus double Hem-o-lok polymer clip for closure of the appendiceal stump during laparoscopic appendectomy in adults with non-perforated acute appendicitis. Patients were allocated according to the parity of their hospital admission protocol number (odd: single clip; even: double clip). The primary outcome was the rate of postoperative complications within six months of surgery, graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.
