Introduction It can be challenging to perform an appendectomy laparoscopically in patients with complicated appendicitis with severe inflammation or perforation of the appendix base. This study aimed to introduce a simple alternative surgical treatment that can be used safely in difficult appendectomy cases. Case presentation We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 14 patients who underwent laparoscopic partial resection of the cecum with a linear stapler between January 2015 and December 2016 in our hospital. Fourteen patients were included in this study, and no surgical complications were observed. Enteral feeding was resumed on the third or fourth postoperative day, and the average length of hospital stay was 7.6 days (range, 5 to 12 days). Conclusion The results suggest that laparoscopic partial cecal resection with an endostapler is a safe, simple surgical procedure that can be a good alternative in patients with complicated appendicitis. |
