Dear Colleague Please can you advise: 1) How many lap appendectomy procedures is recommended before competence is achieved? 2) The likely cause of caecal ischaemia and peritonitis post appendectomy? 3) The causes of incomplete appendectomy? I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Susan Roberts |

Dear Susan Roberts Minimum 20 Appendectomy need to get confidence in this procedure. The cause of incomlete appendectomy is due to leaving a big stump at the base of appendix. Ischemia and peritonitis could be due to thermal damage of cecum due to electrosurgery. With regards Sadhana |
