A Randomized Controlled Trial on Wound Irrigation in Open Appendectomy.

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

A large retrospective study compared wound irrigation with antiseptic solution, with antimicrobial agent, and with normal saline in patients undergoing open appendectomy and concluded an evident superiority of antibiotic wound irrigation over both normal saline and antiseptic solution.

The present trial aimed to assess the efficacy of layer-by-layer wound irrigation with gentamicin-saline solution versus saline solution in prevention of incisional SSI after open appendectomy for acute appendicitis. We postulated that irrigation of every layer of the surgical wound separately would help reduce the incidence of incisional SSI by eradication of bacterial contamination of each layer which may occur during delivery, manipulation, and removal of the inflamed appendix through the McBurney's incision.
