Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Homemade and commercialized single-assess port devices are two kinds of port devices commonly used for single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy. This study aimed to compare these two port devices in terms of short-term surgical outcomes and medical costs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The advantages of homemade port devices include accessibility of the composites and lower equipment costs to the patients; however, the potential disadvantage is the easy leakage of CO2, ballooning of the surgical glove, and device instability, leading to difficult maneuverability. On the other hand, commercialized port devices have relatively easy maneuverability, flexibility for instrument changes, and port stability for long-duration surgery ; however, their higher equipment cost is a disadvantage.
