Abstract
This study aimed to compare outcome of suction versus abdominal lavage in patients undergoing emergency intervention for acute surgical abdomen. The present study showed that as regard demographic data, there was nonsignificant change among the studied groups as regard age and sex.
Our results revealed that that all studied groups had nonsignificant change among peritoneal irrigation and suction as regrading intraoperative time.
Our results revealed that nonsignificant change was present between peritoneal irrigation and suction in all studied groups as regard the post-operative IAA.
Our study found that all studied groups had nonsignificant change among peritoneal irrigation and suction as regrading post-operative wound infection.
This study provided information about the effects of peritoneal irrigation on post-operative fever and post-operative ileus in children. Our study concluded a significant change among peritoneal irrigation and suction in open appendectomy group as regard post-operative fever and post-operative ileus and statistically significant change among peritoneal irrigation and suction in laparoscopic appendectomy group as regard post-operative fever.
Our results concluded that peritoneal irrigation in laparoscopic appendectomy group only had statistically significant increased post-operative hospital stay length when compared to suction.
The present study provided information about the outcomes of peritoneal irrigation and suction in resection re-anastomosis and pneumoperitoneum operations. Our results showed nonsignificant change among peritoneal irrigation and suction in both groups as regard all parameters.
Conclusion:
The current study revealed that suction-only approach had less post-operative complications compared to abdominal lavage approach in patients undergoing emergency intervention for acute surgical abdomen.
Limitation was that it was performed at a single center with a small sample size.
Recommendations were to do further studies in other populations with a different background, and to consider Suction as important factor used in different pediatric surgical procedure.
