Diagnosis of Abdominal Pain Using RNA Levels: The NATURAL Study
The NATURAL Study is a prospective, observational, pragmatic study of RNA biomarkers of infections to aid in the diagnosis of abdominal pain. Summary of Research Study: Hypothesis: A genomic-derived panel of 6 RNA biomarkers present in stabilized whole blood will provide diagnostic information about the presence of bacterial, biofilm, and …
APPI-Cost Trial for Perforated Appendicitis
The purpose of this study to assess the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of povidone-iodine (PVI) irrigation in perforated appendicitis, to investigate barriers and facilitators to future implementation of PVI irrigation, and to collect costs and clinical and patient-reported outcomes among patients with non-perforated appendicitis.
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) for Complicated Appendicitis
The exploratory objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of an enhanced recovery protocol that will allow adult patients to be discharged to home on an oral antibiotic regimen for three days following a laparoscopic appendectomy for complicated appendicitis. Feasibility will be determined by high …
Prostaglandin-E Urinary Metabolite (PGE-M) as a Predictor of Acute Appendicitis in Children
Diagnosing acute appendicitis in children remains a clinical challenge, with delayed or incorrect diagnosis potentially leading to serious complications or unnecessary surgery. Prostaglandin E urinary metabolites (PGE-M) have been found elevated in various inflammatory conditions, but their diagnostic value in pediatric appendicitis is not well established. This study aims to …
Comparison of Diagnostic Methods in Patients Operated for Suspected Appendicitis
Acute appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies, but diagnostic uncertainty may still lead to unnecessary appendectomy in some patients. This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of computed tomography (CT) reporting and the Appendicitis Inflammatory Response (AIR) score in adult patients undergoing appendectomy for …
Feasibility and Safety of a Pediatric ERAS Protocol for Laparoscopic Appendectomy
Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency in children. Despite the widespread adoption of laparoscopic appendectomy, postoperative care still varies widely between institutions, with prolonged fasting, opioid-based analgesia, delayed feeding, and routine drain placement being common. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary care pathway that has …
Magnesium Sulfate in Children Undergoing Laparoscopic Appendectomy
Magnesium sulfate is one of the most commonly used co-analgetics. Its antinociceptive effect is related to antagonizing NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors of the nervous system, has an anti-inflammatory effect by reducing the concentration of IL-6 (interleukin 6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha. In adult patients, the need for morphine in the …
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.
Results of Laparoscopic Appendectomy With Application of Clips Versus Ligature for Stump Closure
This a prospective study to compare between clipping and ligation of appendicular stump in laparoscopic appendectomies regarding ;technical feasibility , post operative complications as fecal fistula and economic consideration.
Clinical Study of PEG Bowel Preparation in Appendectomy Patients
Colonoscopy is a necessary item of physical examination for colorectal cancer. For high-risk groups, annual physical examination is the most effective way of early prevention; At present, a large amount of polyethylene glycol (PEG2000 - 4000) is often used as laxative and lubricant in colonoscopy. However, the widespread use of …
