What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the safety, effectiveness, and cost-efficiency of managing patients with acute gangrenous appendicitis through outpatient surgery after emergency laparoscopic appendectomy. This randomized clinical trial compares outpatient discharge with traditional hospitalization to understand which approach works best for this condition. Participants are randomly assigned to either outpatient surgery management or hospitalization after surgery. The outpatient group will be discharged based on specific recovery criteria, while the hospitalized group will stay in the hospital following their procedure. The study carefully monitors each groups recovery and discharge processes to assess differences. During the study, participants are assessed immediately after surgery for recovery using the Modified Aldrete Score and monitored up to 30 days post-surgery for safety, causes of outpatient management failure, time taken off work, satisfaction levels, and overall efficiency. Researchers also review baseline characteristics to understand factors affecting outpatient management success. The total follow-up period includes one month after surgery for safety evaluation.
