Role of Wound Irrigation After Appendectomy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Surgical site infection is a common problem after open appendectomy. Irrigation of the surgical wound by topical antibiotics has been devised as a measure to reduce the incidence of wound infection. The present trial aims to assess the efficacy of layer-by-layer wound irrigation with gentamicin-saline solution in prevention of superficial surgical site infection after open appendectomy for acute uncomplicated appendicitis.
