Core Tip Laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) is the standard treatment for acute appendicitis in children, offering reduced postoperative pain and quicker recovery compared to open surgery. A critical aspect of LA is the secure closure of the appendiceal stump to avoid complications such as leakage and abscess formation. Various closure techniques are used, including endoloops, staplers, clips, and energy devices, but the optimal method remains unclear due to inconsistent evidence.
