ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how safe and effective it is to manage complicated acute appendicitis (a serious condition where the appendix becomes inflamed) on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can receive treatment without being admitted to the hospital. In this study, patients who have had surgery for acute appendicitis will be randomly placed into two groups: one group will stay in the hospital for care, while the other group will go home and be monitored from there. The goal is to see if treating patients at home is a good option for their recovery.

To participate in this trial, you need to be over 18 years old and have a certain level of health according to a classification system (the ASA classification) that rates how well you can handle anesthesia. You also need to live within 30 minutes of the hospital and have someone to help you at home. However, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or had surgery that took over 90 minutes, you won’t be able to join. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but if you qualify, you would receive care and follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery, helping researchers learn more about outpatient management for this condition.
