COlonic Salvage by Therapeutic Appendectomy.

Surgery will be performed under general anaesthesia. The laparoscopic appendectomy can be performed with the use of 3 trocars; one subumbilical, one suprapubic and one in the lower right quadrant of the abdomen. The appendix is removed using a laparoscopic endostapler enabling a safe and complete appendectomy with the cross stapling line at coecal base. Laparoscopic appendectomy will be performed by a gastrointestinal surgeon with sufficient experience in laparoscopic appendectomies (\>20).

Appendix biopsies will only be taken when the scope easily slides into the lumen of the appendix (the scope will not be pushed into the appendix lumen)
