Comparative Study of Harmonic Scalpel vs. Suture Ligation for Appendix Base During Laparoscopic Appendectomy

Participants will undergo laparoscopic appendectomy in which the base of the appendix is ligated using intracorporeal suturing with absorbable material. This is the conventional technique used to prevent stump leakage.

Participants will undergo laparoscopic appendectomy where the base of the appendix is sealed and divided using the harmonic scalpel. This ultrasonic energy-based device cuts and coagulates tissue simultaneously, potentially reducing operative time and blood loss.
