Abstract

Laparoscopic appendectomies in children require closure of the appendiceal stump. Ethicon Endoloop ligatures can be used for this purpose but may be visualized on postoperative imaging which can create confusion for radiologists who may be concerned for a retained foreign body. Close communication between surgeons and radiologists about such findings is recommended.
