ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new technique called the "glove finger method" to see if it can help reduce the risk of infections after a minimally invasive surgery called transumbilical laparoscopic appendectomy (TULA), which is used to treat appendicitis. This method is being tested to see if it can lower the chances of surgical site infections (SSIs), which can lead to longer recovery times and increased healthcare costs. The trial is open to patients aged between 5 and 18 who need an appendectomy and don't have other serious health issues or a history of previous surgeries.

Participants in the trial can expect to undergo the TULA procedure using the glove finger method. Researchers will monitor their recovery and any infections that may occur, comparing the results with those from traditional surgical methods. The goal is to find a simple and effective way to improve patient care, reduce complications, and ultimately help patients recover faster.
