Comparison of Hem-o-lok and Endoloop for Appendiceal Stump Closure in Laparoscopic Appendectomy: An Observational Retrospective Study.

Background: Laparoscopic appendectomy has gained prominence in the management of acute appendicitis, necessitating secure closure of the appendiceal stump. Two common techniques for this purpose are Hem-o-lok clips (HC) and endoloops (EL), each offering distinct advantages.
