About this study
Official title: Zaragoza Technique For Laparoscopic Appendicectomy
Introduction: Appendectomy is one of the most frequent emergency surgical procedures, currently with a preference for laparoscopic management worldwide. Objective: To report a new laparoscopic appendectomy technique and its results. Material and methods: study of patients with a diagnosis of appendicitis who are managed laparoscopically. In a total 1063 patients, 148 were operated on with the Zaragoza technique during the period from January 2002 to December 2018. The technique consists of making a window in the appendicular base between the meso and the appendicular wall, two prolene or silk sutures are placed, and the cecal appendix is cut between the two sutures, finally the mesoappendix is sectioned with a harmonic scalpel or bipolar clamp.
