Burying the appendiceal stump during appendicectomy has been considered in the past a key point of the open procedure, in order to protect the abdominal cavity and surgical wound from a possible contamination. Moreover, this operative step is described but not usually performed during laparoscopic appendicectomy in both adult and pediatric patients (3,4) and, only 1 year after first minimally invasive appendicectomy, authors began to wonder whether burying the appendiceal stump was useful or not

Abstract
Burying the appendiceal stump during appendicectomy has been considered in the past a key point of the open procedure, in order to protect the abdominal cavity and surgical wound from a possible contamination. Moreover, this operative step is described but not usually performed during laparoscopic appendicectomy in both adult and pediatric patients (3,4) and, only 1 year after first minimally invasive appendicectomy, authors began to wonder whether burying the appendiceal stump was useful or notI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
