Care plan tested for kids with complicated appendicitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a “fast-track” recovery care plan for children after surgery for complicated appendicitis. It may help kids recover faster and with fewer problems after a laparoscopic appendectomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 2 and 17 years old
- Appendicitis must be diagnosed as complicated during surgery
- Have a laparoscopic appendectomy (keyhole surgery)
- Parents/legal guardians must agree and sign consent for the study
- Families must be able to take amoxicillin-clavulanic acid if needed (no allergy/contraindication)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if a special antibiotic wash during laparoscopic appendectomy can prevent a pocket of infection (abscess) from forming in people with complicated appendicitis. If you have complicated appendicitis and are undergoing keyhole surgery, this could help you heal faster with fewer complications.
This study tests whether children with early appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) can be treated safely with antibiotics instead of surgery. Researchers want to see if antibiotics work as well as surgery while avoiding the risks of an operation.
This study tests a special recovery program for people having laparoscopic surgery for a severe type of appendicitis. It aims to help you heal faster and leave the hospital sooner.
This study tests a new recovery plan designed to help children go home faster and feel better sooner after laparoscopic appendix surgery (a minimally invasive operation). The plan focuses on early movement, eating, and pain control without heavy pain medications.
This study compares whether you need antibiotics after laparoscopic surgery for a complicated, “localized” appendix infection. It aims to find the safest, most effective antibiotic approach after surgery.
This trial is for adults with a complicated appendix infection who choose to have emergency surgery right away (instead of trying antibiotics or drainage first). It studies how well this approach works for people with an abscess or phlegmon around the appendix.
