The usefulness and safety of Hem-o-lok clips for the closure of appendicular stump during laparoscopic appendectomy
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and usefulness of the Hem-o-lok clip for the closure of appendicular stumps and limitations of the Hem-o-lok clip. METHODS From May 2010 to August 2011, 105 consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic appendectomies by three surgeons. XL size Hem-o-lok clips were used for the closure of appendicular stumps by one surgeon. The rem...
متن کاملHem-o-lok Clips Migration: An Easily Neglected Complication after Laparoscopic Biliary Surgery
Clip migration into the common bile duct (CBD) is a rare but well-established phenomenon of laparoscopic biliary surgery. The mechanism and exact incidence of clip migration are both poorly understood. Clip migration into the common bile duct can cause recurrent cholangitis and serve as a nidus for stone formation. We present a case, a 54-year-old woman, of clip-induced cholangitis resulting fr...
متن کاملTissue Reaction to Absorbable Endoloop, Nonabsorbable Titanium Staples, and Polymer Hem-o-lok Clip After Laparoscopic Appendectomy
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The standard technique for securing the base of the appendix during laparoscopic appendectomy is by absorbable endoloop ligature, although clinical reports favor the use of the stapler. Nonabsorbable Hem-o-lok clips have been shown to be an alternative technique to this. However, it is currently not clear whether nonabsorbable clips have any effects on the intestine or...
متن کاملThe use of polymer (Hem-o-lok) clips for management of the renal hilum during laparoscopic nephrectomy.
OBJECTIVE Control of the renal pedicle is the most challenging step during laparoscopic nephrectomy. The standard method is to clip the artery and control the vein with an endovascular gastrointestinal anastomosis stapler. However, this device is expensive and has been reported to malfunction, leading to major complications even death. We describe an easy, quick, and cost-effective alternative ...
متن کاملComputed Tomography Appearance of Hem-O-Lok Clips in Patients Who Have Undergone Laparoscopic Nephrectomy or Nephroureterectomy
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hem-o-lok clips are safe and reliable for controlling the renal vasculature. We retrospectively evaluated the CT appearance of Hem-o-lok clips in patients who had undergone laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) or nephroureterectomy (LRU) as well as their appearance on ex vivo CT scans. METHODS Between January 2006 and December 2006, 19 patients underwent LRN or LR...
