Laparoscopic Appendectomy: Comparing Two Gas Pressures
Part of Digestive system, Infections, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different gas pressure levels (10 mmHg vs 15 mmHg) used during laparoscopic appendix removal in patients with uncomplicated acute appendicitis. The goal is to see which pressure leads to better recovery and fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have acute appendicitis (a sudden, inflamed appendix) and your surgery is planned to be done with small incisions (laparoscopic).
- You are otherwise healthy or have mild health issues (classified as ASA I–III).
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have severe heart or lung disease, or a history of major abdominal surgeries that might complicate the procedure.
