Treating appendix abscess: a management study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests different ways to manage an abscess (a pocket of pus) caused by an infected appendix. If you have this condition, it may help find the best treatment for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have an appendicular abscess (a pus-filled pocket from an infected appendix).
- You cannot have an infection that has spread throughout your belly (generalized peritonitis).
- You cannot have signs of a severe, spreading infection (like high fever, confusion, or sepsis).
- You cannot have an abscess with multiple separate pockets (multi-locular abscess).
- You cannot have a weakened immune system, liver or kidney problems, uncontrolled health issues like diabetes, or heart disease.

This study compares two ways to treat appendicitis that has formed an abscess or firm inflammatory mass (phlegmon) on a CT scan. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for people with complicated appendicitis.
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.
This study looks at people with acute appendicitis who have a pocket of infection (abscess) near their appendix. It tests whether small hard stones in the appendix (appendicoliths) affect treatment outcomes when patients choose non-surgical care first.
This study looks at how often tumors are found near the appendix in people who have a periappendiceal abscess (a pocket of infection). It uses imaging tests like CT, MRI, or ultrasound to confirm the condition and may help doctors better understand what to look for.
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 trial compares two treatments for a diverticulitis complication where a pus-filled pocket (abscess) forms near the colon. You either receive antibiotics alone or a procedure to drain the abscess, and researchers will see which leads to better outcomes.
