| Abstract: | This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of polymeric clips in minimally invasive surgery. Absorbable polymeric clips were applied to the cystic duct, appendicular stump, and blood vessels in 35 patients undergoing laparoscopic or thoracoscopic procedures. All patients were reviewed 3 months after their operations, and no complications related to the clips were observed. These findings indicate that absorbable clips have more advantages than metallic clips. We believe that as this clip is easy to operate with safety, it should be used in the majority of minimally invasive surgical procedures. |
