Comparison of Medical and Surgical Treatment of Uncomplicated Acute Appendicitis in Children

Appendicitis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Comparison of Medical and Surgical Treatment of Uncomplicated Acute Appendicitis in Children

Clinical Trial Summary

Several prior studies have demonstrated that medical management of acute appendicitis in adults is a safe first-line therapy option. This study aims to determine whether non-operative management of uncomplicated acute appendicitis with antibiotics is non-inferior to operative management in a pediatric population. This study will be a randomized controlled trial comparing non-operative management with antibiotics to surgical management of uncomplicated acute appendicitis. The hypothesis is that antibiotics are not worse than surgery for the treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis in children.
