Evaluation of One Day Discharge After Laparoscopic Appendectomy for

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

The research would include children who underwent laparoscopic surgery due to uncomplicated acute appendicitis in the period from October 2021 to October 2023 at the Clinic for Pediatric Surgery of the University Hospital Center Split. After the suspicion of acute inflammation of the appendix is established, the pediatric surgeon decides on surgical treatment. Recently, laparoscopic appendectomy has been performed in a standardized manner at the Clinic for Pediatric Surgery of the Clinical Hospital Center Split. After the operation, and in the current practice, the children would stay in hospital for 2 to 4 days. As the generally known psychological aspects of changes in children's behaviour in involuntary hospital stays, and now even more pronounced due to the SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) COVID19 virus pandemic and reduced opportunities for parents to stay with children, the main goal of this study is to evaluate and possibly reduce hospital stay to a minimum and proof that there are no complications in treatment outcomes due to shortening the length of hospital treatment. To conduct this research, 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). Baseline demographic data and intraoperative findings will be recorded. All data will be statistically processed using descriptive statistics. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
