Abstract
Purpose: Hem-O-lok ® polymer clips are an alternative to the use of ENDOLOOP ® for the closure of the appendicular stump during appendectomies. They have shown some reduction in the rate of postoperative intra-abdominal abscesses in some studies. In our institution, after reviewing the literature
