Acute Appendectomy Study Comparing Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgery
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks back at records of adults who had emergency appendix surgery (robotic or laparoscopic) for acute appendicitis. It aims to compare outcomes of different surgical approaches to help doctors choose the best option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were 22 or older when you had your appendix removed.
- Your surgery was done urgently or as an emergency for acute appendicitis.

- You did not have any cancerous growth in your appendix.
- You were not pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of the surgery.
- Your surgery happened between 2018 and 30 days before the study started.

This trial looks at whether different ways of diagnosing appendicitis (like CT scans) are accurate. It's for people who already had surgery to remove their appendix and want to help doctors learn more.
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 trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic vs robotic) to remove an adrenal gland. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
This study follows people around the world who have their appendix removed for appendicitis. It aims to track outcomes and improve care for this common surgery.
This study is testing whether robot-assisted surgery is safe and effective for certain emergency abdominal conditions, such as severe gallbladder infections, bowel blockages, or injuries. It may be an option if you need surgery for one of these problems and are stable enough for the procedure.
This study tests a new robotic arm for removing the appendix in adults with uncomplicated appendicitis. It may help make surgery safer and more precise.
