Summary

This study tests a 20-step recovery plan (ERAS) for children aged 5-18 having laparoscopic appendix surgery. The goal is to see if the plan can be followed closely and safely in a hospital. Researchers will track how well the steps are followed and check for any major problems or readmissions within 30 days.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Pediatric patients aged 5 to 18 years (preschool, school-age, and adolescent). 2. Acute appendicitis without preoperative radiologic or clinical evidence of complication/perforation, who are candidates for and accept laparoscopic surgery. 3. ASA Physical Status I (healthy) or ASA II (mild systemic disease). 4. Family/legal guardians literate in Turkish (or the institution's primary service language) and able to comprehend the educational materials. 5. Written informed consent from parents/legal guardians; for children of sufficient developmental maturity (generally ≥7 years), age-appropriate written assent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Preoperative imaging or clinical evidence of complicated appendicitis (perforation, generalized peritonitis, intra-abdominal abscess) anticipated to require an extended procedure (anastomosis, resection, or extensive peritoneal irrigation). 2. History of chronic pain syndrome or regular/sustained opioid use within the past 3 months. 3. Therapeutic preoperative antibiotic treatment for an active infection (other than surgical prophylaxis). 4. ASA III or higher; immunosuppression, progressive neurological disease, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, or other significant comorbidities likely to interfere with postoperative recovery/mobilization. 5. Anatomic/mechanical contraindications to laparoscopy or pneumoperitoneum (e.g., prior major open abdominal surgery with suspected adhesions, abdominal wall defects).
