TRIAD Appendicitis Decision-making Surveys
While appendectomy has been the main treatment of appendicitis for over 100 years, recent European studies found that, at least among highly selected patients, antibiotics alone can be an effective alternative. Surgeons and patients alike have a difficult time deciding if surgery or antibiotics are the best choice to treat …
Re-assessment of Appendicitis Evaluation During Laparoscopic Appendectomy, Peritoneal Irrigation During Laparoscopic Appendectomy Does the Grade of Contamination Matter?
Type: prospective observational multicenter trial. Population of interest: adult patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis. Hypothesis : laparoscopic lavage during laparoscopic appendectomy is a practice that should be used in selected patients according to the intraperitoneal grade of contamination and grade of appendicitis. Nonregulated use of laparoscopic lavage cannot …
Are Double-ring Wound-edge Protectors Effective for Preventing Superficial Surgical Site Infection After Open Appendectomy?
This study aims to evaluate the utility of double-ring wound-edge protectors to prevent the development of superficial surgical site infections after open appendectomy.
Web-based International Register of Emergency Surgery and Trauma
The WIRES-T project (Web-based International Registry of Emergency General Surgery and Trauma) has been set up to allow to all the EGS (Emergency General Surgery) and Trauma surgeons to register their activity and to obtain a worldwide register of traumatic and non traumatic surgical emergencies. This will give the opportunity …
Plasma Sodium: a Predictor of Perforation in Acute Appendicitis. (The NAP-study)
This clinical prospective diagnostic accuracy study assesses plasma sodium concentration using blood gas analysis at the emergency department in children, age 1-15 years, with suspected acute appendicitis. The overall assumption is that using plasma sodium as a biomarker, a cut-off value of <136 mmol/L will differentiate perforated from non-perforated acute …
Intestinal Flora and Metabonomics of Appendicitis
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the key bacterial flora and metabolites associated with appendicitis in children. The main questions it aims to answer are To screen out the key biomarkers of pediatric appendicitis. What are the microbial differences in different parts of pediatric appendicitis patients. …
Mapping the Human Appendix Using Single Cell Sequencing
The overall purpose of this study is to describe the cellular composition of the human appendix and its gene expression using scRNAseq and scATACseq methods. This will potentially provide is with a complete and detailed map of the appendix´ immunological properties and its role in neuro-endocrine/metabolic functions. Our results will …
