Double endoscopic loop for laparoscopic surgery

A method of assisting in an appendectomy in a patient, the method comprising:

• making an incision in a body of the patient above an appendix of the patient;
• inserting a device having endoscopic loops through the incision into the body of the patient, the device comprising:
• a longitudinal body having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end is T-shaped and defines first and second branches, and wherein the first and second branches are axially aligned with respect to one another, each extending perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal body;
• a first loop supported by, and extending from, the first branch of the distal end of the longitudinal body, wherein the first loop is configured for securing the appendage at a first point;
• a second loop supported by, and extending from, the second branch of the distal end of the longitudinal body, the second loop being spaced apart from the first loop, wherein the second loop is configured for securing the appendage at a second point;
• a handle located at the proximal end, the handle connected to the first loop and the second loop wherein the handle comprises a first looped handle extending between 2.5 and 7.5 cm perpendicularly from the longitudinal body in a first direction and a second looped handle extending between 2.5 and 7.5 cm perpendicularly from the longitudinal body in a second direction opposite the first direction;
• and
• securing the appendix at a first point using the first loop and securing the appendix at a second point using the second loop;
• and
• pulling the handle away from the longitudinal body such that the first loop ligates the appendix at the first point and the second loop ligates the appendix at the second point.
