Filter by:Introduction: In the era of minimally invasive surgery, changing trends are towards laparoscopic surgery, first introduced in 1983. Now the preferred operation for children with appendicitis, laparoscopic appendectomy is associated with a reduced risk of wound infection, less postoperative pain and shorter hospital stay as compared to open appendectomy. Objectives: To compare the outcome of open and laparoscopic appendectomy in children presenting with appendicitis in terms of operative time, postoperative pain, wound infection and hospital stay.
Maternal acute appendicitis during pregnancy is the most common abdominal surgical emergency. Long-term neurodevelopmental issues were scarcely reported. The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of appendicitis and appendectomy during pregnancy in general anesthesia on the cognitive and psychomotor development of children.
Although obesity is a popular reason for choosing laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) versus open appendectomy (OA), however, the question of whether there is a difference remains. The goal of the present study is to investigate if there is a difference between OA and LA in obese patients. In the present study, Fifty-eight obese patients were diagnosed with acute appendicitis according to Alvarado score at the department of surgery at Suez Canal university hospitals from March 2020 till August 2021were included. The study participants were assigned to two groups, after their approval: LA and OA. The investigators hypothesized that evaluating the Outcome and Quality of life of laparoscopic appendectomy for the obese patients would be a potential step for standardization of the laparoscopic approach for obese patients who are arranged for appendectomy.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of outpatient management of uncomplicated acute appendicitis. For this purpose, a randomized clinical trial was designed. Selected patients who have undergone surgery for acute appendicitis are randomized into two groups. One group with hospitalization and another group without admission.
A retrospective observational study investigating whether retrocecal appendicitis associated with worse operative and postoperative outcomes than non-retrocecal appendicitis.
Laparoscopic appendectomy causes postoperative pain. The primary objective of this prospective randomized controlled study is to compare the effect of ultrasound (US)-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) on 24-hour cumulative opioid requirements with transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block.
After the recent publication of the CODA Trial comparing antibiotics and surgery for acute appendicitis, the investigators developed a comprehensive decision support tool. This tool will help patients understand the risks and benefits of each treatment and make a treatment decision. This study is an online randomized field test comparing the decision support tool to a control infographic and assessing it's affect on decisional outcomes, such as decisional conflict.
surgical site infiltration using ketamine versus Bupivacaine for analgesia in post-operative Appendectomy operation by Ketamine versus Bupivacaine
The aim of this study was to evaluate the value and safety of discharge of a child to home care within 24 hours after laparoscopic appendectomy for uncomplicated appendicitis to reduce the impact on the child's psyche and need for hospitalisation. Baseline demographic data and intraoperative finding will be recorded. Parents are given a two-page questionnaire that is completed in three cycles (immediately after discharge, daily until the first control and immediately before the first control). All data will be statistically processed using descriptive statistics.
This study is a retrospective evaluation of all patients treated surgically for appendicitis over a period of 3 years at the Sint- Andries Hospital, Tielt. Belgium. The goal is to evaluate the value of ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) and laboratory testing in diagnosing acute appendicitis and to look for the possible impact on the treatment.
