Endoscopic Management of Appendiceal Stump Lesions via Transcolonic Access: A Safe and Feasible Minimally Invasive Strategy
Transcolonic endoscopic appendectomy for appendiceal stump lesions is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment option within experienced endoscopic centers. Due to their anatomical simplicity, these lesions represent a straightforward indication, making the procedure suitable as an entry-level application for endoscopists. Further investigation and structured training programs are warranted to assess long-term outcomes and broaden the generalizability of this technique.
