This trial tests whether patients who have straightforward appendix removal surgery need antibiotics for just 1 day or 5 days afterward. The goal is to find the shortest safe antibiotic course that prevents infection.
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 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 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 study tests whether taking antibiotics by mouth at home works as well as placebo (a dummy pill) to treat uncomplicated appendicitis. It might help you avoid surgery and recover without a hospital stay.
This trial tests whether taking antibiotics alone can treat acute uncomplicated appendicitis, compared with a placebo. If antibiotics work, it may help some people avoid surgery or reduce treatment intensity.
