Impact of peritoneal lavage on intra-abdominal abscess after laparoscopic appendectomy for perforated appendicitis: a propensity score matching analysis
Our findings indicate that compared to suction alone, peritoneal lavage did not reduce the incidence of postoperative IAA in adults undergoing LA for acute perforated appendicitis. There is no evidence that patients benefit from lavage. Prospective multicenter randomized controlled trials are warranted.
