“…In other studies, which included this variable, the results were similar to those obtained in this study 3,7,12,13,22,23 . The making of the tobacco pouch for burial of the stump causes changes in the anatomy of the cecum.These changes may be confused with cancer on imaging examination inducing the patient to be subjected unnecessarily to the stress of diagnostic uncertainty and/or invasive tests or operations 14,16 . To avoid this, some authors recommend a simple ligation technique for treatment of appendicular stump 7,14,16 .…”

“…Historically, some surgeons used the technique of inversion-ligation appendectomy to theoretically reduce the risk of peritoneal contamination in the setting of acute appendicitis. [1][2][3][4] This technique has also been used for incidental appendectomy performed during laparotomy for unrelated problems. The resultant appendiceal stump usually necroses and sloughs into the colonic lumen after several days, but remnant tissue may persist in some patients.…”
