Comparison of Outcomes After Laparoscopic Versus Open Appendectomy in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A comparison study was performed between laparoscopic appendectomy and open appendectomy in acute setting in tertiary hospital to access the outcome of postoperative pain and hospital stay. As the popularity of laparoscopic appendectomy has failed in major tertiary hospital due to huge amount of patient load in which open appendectomy was performed.This study was performed to prove that outcome of laparoscopic appendectomy are far better than open appendectomy and to increase the use of laparoscopic surgery in acute settings

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.
