Endoscopic Management of Appendiceal Stump Lesions via Transcolonic Access: A Safe and Feasible Minimally Invasive Strategy

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of transcolonic endoscopic appendectomy for appendiceal stump lesions.
Utilized transcolonic access for appendiceal stump appendectomy.
Conducted the procedure in experienced endoscopic centers.
Assessed the simplicity of anatomical lesions to facilitate the technique's use.
The transcolonic approach is identified as a safe treatment for appendiceal stump lesions.
Minimally invasive strategy demonstrates effectiveness within skilled endoscopic practices.

Abstract

Transcolonic endoscopic appendectomy for appendiceal stump lesions is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment option within experienced endoscopic centers. Due to their anatomical simplicity, these lesions represent a straightforward indication, making the procedure suitable as an entry-level application for endoscopists. Further investigation and structured training programs are warranted to assess long-term outcomes and broaden the generalizability of this technique.
