Filter by:This is a randomized control trial to evaluate the efficacy of an FDA approved cold therapy device vs. usual care among children undergoing appendectomy at a large children's hospital.
When performing laparoscopic appendectomy in children, regional anesthetic techniques are rou-tinely used concomitantly with general anesthesia. These techniques include local infiltration of the trocar wounds or transverse abdominal plane block (TAP block). In 2018, a position paper of the European Society of Pediatric Anaesthesiology advised for TAP block over local infiltration of the trocar wounds. However, there is no randomized study comparing both techniques in children. The aim of this study is to compare morphine consumption during the first 24 postoperative hours in children undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy and randomly allocated to either local infiltration of the trocar wounds or TAP block.
A longitudinal observational/survey study evaluating patient centered decision making in the choice of treatment for acute appendicitis. Survey evaluates patients experience with decision making and the types of decision support they receive.
The purpose of this study is to asses whether the pressure used for the pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery in children affects their postoperative pain levels.
Short Post-operative Antibacterial Therapy in Complicated Appendicitis: Oral Versus Intravenous is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing 24 hour intravenous antibacterial therapy to 24 hour oral antibacterial therapy after surgery in complicated appendicitis.
Introduction Most countries imposed mandatory lockdowns that were rapidly lifted, however Argentina holds the record for one of the longest quarantines in the world. General surgery emergency conditions and trauma cases still require immediate evaluation and timely resolution. The primary objective of this study was to analyze the variations in the consults, surgical outcomes and severity of disease in admissions at our department of general surgery and to study the consequences of the lockdown effect in our community. Materials and methods An observational, ambispective study was carried out on a prospective cohort of patients who consulted with on-call surgical pathology and required hospitalization in the period from March 13th, 2020 until July 31, 2020 (PG) were included, analyzed and compared with the same period of 2019 (CG).
To Compare the outcome to acute appendicitis in foreign workers to the native patients.
Acute appendicitis is the first visceral surgical emergency in pediatrics with about 30,000 cases in children having been described in France. It concerns 0.3% of children under 15 with a maximum frequency between 8 and 13 years of age. Acute appendicitis has a significant morbidity rate of 8% and a mortality rate under 0.1%. 10 to 25% of the children admitted to emergency rooms for abdominal pain have appendicitis. In 20 to 30% of the cases, the initial symptoms are atypical, which explains the difficulty in diagnosing. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the quality of general practitioners in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, its severity and the diagnostic criteria used. Furthermore, it is not as easy to evaluate pain or examine a complaint in children as it is in adults. Appendicectomy is the treatment of choice for all acute appendicitis. The importance of early diagnosis and treatment is, therefore, essential. Many predictive diagnostic scores have been studied over the years. The Pediatric Appendicitis Score (PAS) using typical symptoms of acute appendicitis and biological items was published in 2002. Nowadays, it is still considered as a reference and has been validated by other studies. Most of the patients suffering from abdominal pain first consult their general practitioner.
It is not known whether appendectomy for acute appendicitis (AA) increases the Cesarean section (CS) rate and whether CS increases the likelihood of AA and appendectomy in the early puerperium. In this study, delivery type and delivery outcomes and appendectomy during pregnancy and puerperium were analyzed.
this is a retrospective cohort, descriptive study, investigating the role of ERAS protocols, in pediatric surgery and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing these protocols
