Study Details

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 compliance and adherence of patients to the postoperative instructions, while safety will be assessed by the incidence of postoperative infectious complications and requirement for re-admission.
