    The study evaluated a modified two-port laparoscopic technique for pediatric appendectomy using absorbable clips and single-instrument knotting.

  • 2

    A total of 133 pediatric patients were analyzed, comparing outcomes between absorbable clips and Hem-o-lok clips for appendiceal stump closure.

  • 3

    No significant differences were found in key perioperative outcomes, except the Hem-o-lok group had a shorter operative duration.

  • 4

    The Hem-o-lok cohort experienced higher rates of postoperative complications, including subacute intestinal obstruction and abdominal pain.

  • 5

    The absorbable clip technique resulted in fewer complications and a milder inflammatory response, warranting further validation in larger studies.
