The appendix is grasped at its tip and lifted. The appendix is fully exposed. It appears inflamed, with no visible perforation or abscess.
Dissection of the mesoappendix
The mesoappendix is dissected close to the base with the coagulation hook. A window between the appendix base and the mesoappendix is then made with the dissector.
Clipping and division
The mesoappendix is closed with a polymer clip. A second clip is placed directly beside it. The mesoappendix is divided with scissors.
