Surg."],"abstract":"<jats:p>The incidence of appendiceal stump leakage (ASL) is extremely low and heterogeneous, which has been reported to be approximately 0.5%\u20131.0%. It is a catastrophic complication with high mortality rate despite its low morbidity. Once it occurs, it will put the doctor in a passive position because dealing with the leakage is much more cumbersome than appendectomy. We extensively reviewed the literature on ASL, focusing on the management and prognosis. Unsurprisingly, all of the physicians advocated extended resection, which apparently gave them sufficient confidence. However, partial cecum resection, cecostomy, or terminal ileectomy is extremely invasive and destructive. So, the patients had to experience great mental and physical trauma, longer hospital stays, higher rates of wound infection, more costs, and even a third surgery. Therefore, are there any better approaches for ASL? In this article, we report a case of ASL who successfully underwent endoscopic treatment. A 70-year-old male was admitted with gangrenous perforated appendicitis with a large iliopsoas abscess. Appendectomy, iliopsoas abscess debridement and sufficient drainage, appendicular stump repair and closure, and terminal ileostomy were performed. Three months later, the patient was readmitted and the stoma reversal was performed as scheduled. Seven days later, ASL was found when a liquid diet was applied routinely due to right lower quadrant pain and low fever. Finally, with the periappendiceal abscess completely drained, we clamped the appendiceal orifice with five titanium clips under an electronic colonoscope, which eventually sealed the leakage and avoided extended resection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2023.1171875","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,19]],"date-time":"2023-07-19T06:42:59Z","timestamp":1689748979000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Colonoscopic titanium clipping to address appendiceal stump leakage: a case report"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Jianjun","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huayan","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiulian","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Longkuan","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenhai","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiangyu","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"764","DOI":"10.3238\/arztebl.2020.0764","article-title":"Acute appendicitis in childhood and adulthood","volume":"117","author":"Teoule","year":"2020","journal-title":"Dtsch Arztebl Int"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1119","DOI":"10.14309\/ajg.0000000000001116","article-title":"Endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy for treating periappendiceal abscess: first human case report","volume":"116","author":"Song","year":"2021","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e213","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2020.07.034","article-title":"Perforated appendicitis presenting as mechanical small bowel obstruction","volume":"134","author":"Yeo","year":"2021","journal-title":"Am J Med"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"155","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0033-1360455","article-title":"Endoloop as the first line tool for appendiceal stump closure in children with appendicitis","volume":"25","author":"Naiditch","year":"2015","journal-title":"Eur J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2019.06.011","article-title":"Are endoscopic loop ties safe even in complicated acute appendicitis?
