Abstract: Brazil. Tutor, responsible for conception, design, intellectual and scientific content of the study; critical analysis and final approval of manuscript. ABSTRACT PURPOSE:To evaluate the efficacy of the use of LigaSure™ in appendectomy, with or without acute inflammatory process, and to compare with simple ligature and conventional therapy. METHODS: A total of 30 rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) randomly allocated in two groups, group A and B, of 15 animals each were used. The group A without acute appendicitis … Show more

“…The authors stated that Ligasure use was superior to clips in their experimental model. In an experimental study on rabbits, Sauza et al (28) also reported that coagulation and division with Ligasure alone resulted in 100% fibrosis of the appendix stump, and that the appendix base can be safely divided after coagulation with Ligasure alone. However, similar to bipolar cautery, other clinical studies on Ligasure were not performed.…”

“…The group in which LigaSure was applied had fibrosis in 100% of animals. This technique induces enough fibrous tissue to obstruct the leakage of enteric content [ 16 ]. A study conducted by Helpman and Covens used the LigaSure device for the performance of an appendectomy during laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic malignancies in 14 patients.…”

“…In normal laboratory rabbits, experimental appendectomy has been performed successfully either by placing a ligature around the base of the appendix ~1 cm from the caecal body and transfixing it using 4–0 prolene, or by ligation of the appendiceal stump followed by a purse-string invagination of the caecal base. Appendectomy was performed using a LigaSure device placed ~1 cm from the transition appendix; appendiceal artery ligation has also been described ( 37 ). In the presented case of appendectomy, a conventional method of ligating the blood vessels in the cecocolic fold, transfixing the caecal body with a suture, and then transecting it before resecting the appendix was performed.…”

“…The distal opening of the caecum was closed in two layers with an inverted suture pattern. This is the method that was described and used successfully by Souza et al ( 37 ).…”
