This study looks at videos of appendix removal surgery in children to see if they can help make surgery safer. If your child is having this surgery, the video may help doctors learn how to prevent problems.
This study tests a faster recovery plan for children who had surgery for complicated appendicitis. It aims to see if children can leave the hospital sooner and recover well at home with oral antibiotics instead of staying longer in the hospital.
This trial looks at patients with a type of appendicitis where there is an abscess or phlegmon (a pocket of pus or swollen tissue) near the appendix. It tests what happens when these patients have surgery right away instead of trying antibiotics or drainage first, to see if this is a safe and effective choice.
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.
