Early feeding vs. standard diet after child appendix surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.

This trial compares two different ways of starting to eat after emergency bowel surgery: one group begins eating earlier than usual, and the other follows the standard timing. The goal is to see which approach helps you recover faster with fewer problems.
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 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 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 trial compares closing the surgical wound right away versus waiting a few days after an open appendectomy for a complicated appendix (perforated or gangrenous). It aims to find which method leads to fewer infections and better healing for patients in Yemen.
