Study Summary
Patients who are diagnosed with acute appendicitis consented and then randomized into two arms of the trial. In one arm, patients receive irrigation of the abdomen during surgery with normal saline, or salt water. In the other arm, patients receive irrigation of the abdomen during surgery with sterile water. Sometimes patients receive no irrigation if none is determined to be needed at the time of operation by the surgeon. We then followed patients after surgery for 30 days. The hypothesis of this study was that the use of sterile water as irrigation fluid during surgery in patients who have acute appendicitis will decrease the chance of a post-operative abscess or infection.
