"Spaghetti technique"-novel technique to facilitate laparoscopic appendicectomy and cholecystectomy.

Long appendices and gallbladders may be difficult to remove during laparoscopy. In this report, we describe a novel technique by which the gallbladder or appendix is held at the tip with a grasper and rolled on to it like "spaghetti." We found this technique very useful in improving the traction and stability of the organs in order to facilitate dissection.
