NCT ID NCT05075252

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study watches over 1000 adults having laparoscopic appendix removal to see if washing the belly with fluid (lavage) reduces the chance of internal infections. Doctors will note how dirty the belly is and decide on washing based on a new classification system. The goal is to find out if washing helps only in certain cases, or if it's unnecessary.
