Suture ligation
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.
Harmonic Scalpel
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.
