Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Research hypothesis:

Does delayed primary wound closure after appendectomy in adults with complicated appendicitis reduce postoperative superficial surgical site infection compare to primary wound closure.

Study design:

This study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial of delay versus primary wound closure in complicated appendicitis.

Setting:

Thammasat Hospital, Ramathibodi Hospital, Chonburi Hospital, Chonpratarn Hospital, Vachira Hospital, and Pathumthani Hospital

Participants:

Adult patients age 18 years or older and non-pregnant in women who have been diagnosed as gangrenous or ruptured appendicitis.

Outcome:

Superficial surgical site infection

Period of study:

August 2012 - August 2014

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Primary wound closure

A wound will be sutured immediately after the operative procedure uisng non-absorbable monofilament suture or stapler at intervals of one centimeter apart and 0.5 cm back from a wound edge.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Primary wound closure

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A wound will be sutured immediately after the operative procedure uisng non-absorbable monofilament suture or stapler at intervals of one centimeter apart and 0.5 cm back from a wound edge.

Delayed primary wound closure

A wound will be left open with saline-soaked gauze packing after the operative procedure and will be sutured around day 3 to 7 after operation

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Primary wound closure

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A wound will be sutured immediately after the operative procedure uisng non-absorbable monofilament suture or stapler at intervals of one centimeter apart and 0.5 cm back from a wound edge.
