Comparative Study of Polymetric Clips (Hem-o-Lok) Versus Historical Endoscopic Staplers for Laparoscopic...

Appendicitis

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes and the operative costs of appendectomy performed with the Hem-O-Lok polymetric clips compared to endoscopic staplers. Prospective data will be collected before, during, and after surgery on patients undergoing a laparoscopic appendectomy that have the Hem-o-Lok ® stapler used to close the stump after the appendix is removed. Use of the Hem-o-Lok ® stapler is standard for appendectomy patients at Duke Regional Hospital. Retrospective data will be collected from patients who had an appendectomy prior to 1/2012 using a different clip as part of their surgery, or an open appendectomy to compare outcomes.

Pediatric Appendicitis Risk Calculator (pARC) in Children With Appendix Ultrasounds

Appendicitis

Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most common condition requiring emergency surgery in children. At a network of institutions nationwide, a tool called the pediatric appendicitis risk calculator (pARC)1 is being studied to assess patient's true risk of appendicitis and provide guidance for clinical management to ER physicians. Preliminary studies have found the pARC to be more accurate at predicting risk of appendicitis in children when compared to other scoring systems. The study objective is to assess acute care charges and clinical outcomes among children with an appendix ultrasound and a pARC score of less than < 25% risk.

Pain and Discomfort After Appendectomy in Children

AppendicitisChronic Post-Procedural Pain

Appendectomy is the most common surgical procedure. Chronic abdominal pain is an uncommon complication following appendectomy. It is observed that pediatric patients who have undergone abdominal surgical procedure complained of pain and discomfort in the postoperative period and these complaints may affect quality of life. We aimed to investigate the presence of postoperative chronic abdominal pain and discomfort in children aged 8-18 years underwent appendectomy and their social and physical effects. The records of children aged 8-18 years who underwent appendectomy, such as age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) classification score, the type of surgical procedure, and anesthetic technique were obtained. Children had inclusions crietrias, pain was assessed using numerical rating scale and their effects on life were assessed Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory parent and child versions questionnaire at sixth months after surgery.
