Abstract
Introduction: Appendectomies are common among pediatric patients. This study aimed to assess the safety and utility of a two-row stapler reload in pediatric appendectomies.
Methods: A prospective registry was used to collect study data at two U.S. centers to evaluate Signia™ Small Diameter Reload (SDR) ligating the appendiceal stump and mesoappendix. Incidence of hemostatic and leak interventions was collected as the primary measure.
Results: SDR was fired 100 times across 95 patients with no intervention needed for hemostatic or leaks due to staple-line integrity concerns or device failures. No device-related complications or deficiencies occurred within 30 days of the operation.
Conclusion: The two-row stapler reload demonstrated safety and efficacy in pediatric appendectomies. Outcomes were consistent across patient age, patient weight, type of appendicitis, and stapler handle used.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques (JLAST) is the leading international peer-reviewed journal for practicing surgeons who want to keep up with the latest thinking and advanced surgical technologies in laparoscopy, endoscopy, NOTES, and robotics. The Journal is ideally suited to surgeons who are early adopters of new technology and techniques. Recognizing that many new technologies and techniques have significant overlap with several surgical specialties, JLAST is the first journal to focus on these topics both in general and pediatric surgery, and includes other surgical subspecialties such as: urology, gynecologic surgery, thoracic surgery, and more.
