Summary
This study looked at whether giving fewer antibiotics after appendix removal is safe and works well. 268 adults who had surgery for simple or complicated appendicitis were followed for at least 30 days. The goal was to see if a short course of antibiotics could reduce side effects and complications compared to a longer course, without increasing the risk of infection.
