Summary
The proposed study will investigate whether antibiotic irrigation using a
gentamicin/clindamycin solution during laparoscopic appendectomy is superior in preventing
postoperative wound infections and IAA in perforated appendicitis compared to suction without
irrigation. This will be the first prospective study to compare these two options in
pediatric PA.
