Low vs Medium Pressure Pneumoperitoneum
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.
IA Model for Acute Appendicitis in CT
the investigators's study group has developed a fully automated 3D convolutional neural network (CNN)-based diagnostic framework using information of appendix (IA) model to identify non-appendicitis and simple and complicated appendicitis on CT scan images based on the two-stage binary classification algorithm, as a clinician does for deciding treatment. The dataset …
Same Day Ambulatory Appendectomy (SAMBA)
The potential benefit of outpatient care for this common digestive emergency is considerable, both for the patients themselves and for the public health system: Optimization of the care pathway, reducing the length of stay in hospital (a major issue in the context of the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) pandemic) liberating patient …
Protocol Based Selective Imaging Versus Routine Computed Tomography or Ultrasound in Suspected Appendicitis
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare protocol based selective imaging to routine imaging in adult patients with suspected appendicitis. The main question[s] it aims to answer are Does protocol based selective imaging using clinical scoring affect clinical outcome? Does protocol based selective observation combined with score based …
The Value of Post-operative Antibiotic Therapy After Laparoscopic Appendectomy for Complicated Acute Appendicitis (Other Than for Generalized Peritonitis)
Around 30% of appendectomies are performed for complicated acute appendicitis (CAA, i.e. cases with perforated appendicitis, extraluminal fecaliths, abscesses, or local or generalized peritonitis). The treatment of these complicated forms involves the following steps: initiation of antibiotic treatment at the time of the diagnosis, appendectomy and post-operative antibiotic therapy that …
Per Oral Versus Intravenous Postoperative Antibiotics After Surgery for Complicated Appendicitis.
The PIPA trial is a prospective, multicentre, cluster randomized cluster crossover non-inferiority study. We aim to test whether a three-day postoperative course of per oral antibiotics is non-inferior to a three-day postoperative course of intravenous antibiotics as standard care after laparoscopic surgery for complicated appendicitis in regards to the risk …
Appendectomy vs. Symptomatic Treatment in Uncomplicated Acute Appendicitis Among Pediatric Patients
The APPSYPP trial is a randomized national multicenter feasibility superiority pilot study comparing appendectomy with symptomatic treatment in children with imaging-confirmed uncomplicated acute appendicitis. Patients are recruited from all five Finnish university hospitals. Inclusion criteria are: 1) age 7-15 years, 2) imaging-confirmed uncomplicated acute appendicitis (no appendicolith, perforation, abscess, or …
Complex and Simple Appendicitis: REstrictive or Liberal Post-operative Antibiotic eXposure (CASA RELAX)
This prospective trial will randomize patients who have had an appendectomy to two different durations of antibiotic therapy depending on the status of the appendicitis. For simple appendicitis, patients will be randomized to peri-operative antibiotics or 24 hours duration. For complex appendicitis, patients will be randomized to 24 hours or …
Complex And Simple Appendicitis: REstrictive or Liberal Post-operative Antibiotic eXposure - UCSF
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of short-course post-operative antibiotic treatment for simple and complicated appendicitis
Operative Versus Non-Operative Management for Appendicitis With Abscess or Phlegmon
The investigators aim to determine if early operative intervention is superior to non-operative management for adult patients with computerized tomography (CT)-proven complicated appendicitis with phlegmon or abscess.
