NO
To determine whether the incidence of postoperative residual abscess is reduced in the drainage group when laparoscopic appendicectomy is performed for perforated appendicitis.
Efficacy
Confirmatory
Pragmatic
Not applicable
Occurrence of postoperative residual abscess

| 16 | years-old | <= |
| Not applicable |
Male and Female
Patients who underwent laparoscopic appendicectomy for perforated appendicitis between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2023.
Definition of 'perforated appendicitis': 'appendicitis' diagnosed as 'perforated' on preoperative CT or intraoperative findings. Abscess formation may or may not be present. It does not include those diagnosed as 'perforated' on pathology. Perforation" is only a clinical finding.
Definition of 'laparoscopic appendicectomy': the number of ports is not specified. However, as a fully specoscopic procedure, open transition cases and hybrid cases (those treated by giving and removing from the umbilicus) are excluded. Partial cecal resections are included, but partial colon resections such as ileal resection or right semi-colon resection are excluded.
1: Under 16 years of age
2: Pregnant women
3: Open transition cases, hybrid cases
4: Partial colon resection other than partial cecal resection
5: Those who refused to participate in the study

The following information will be collected from the medical records of patients who have undergone laparoscopic appendicectomy for perforated appendicitis in the last nine years at the participating centres of the study _
z Basic patient information: age, sex, height, weight, date of symptom onset, name of comorbidity on admission, life history, date of admission.
z Surgical-related information: date of surgery, vital signs on admission to surgery, presence/absence of catecholamine, presence/absence of sepsis, site of tenderness, presence/absence of peritoneal irritation symptoms, site, ASA-PS, number of ports, site of contamination, method of dissection, presence/absence of drain placement, drain placement position, amount of flushing, amount of bleeding, duration of surgery.
z Non-operative treatment-related information: duration of antimicrobial use, post-operative complications, presence/absence of residual abscess, details of residual abscess, total hospitalisation costs
00 Pre-operative laboratory data: WBC, Hb, CRP, Alb, Cre, procalcitonin, CT findings
0 Outcome: days in ICU, days in hospital, days in hospital after surgery, outcome at discharge, whether readmission.
The main analysis will be a mixed-effects model taking into account facility factors. The incidence of abscesses in patients undergoing laparoscopic appendicectomy for perforated appendicitis was 8.1% in our data. Therefore, assuming an incidence of abscesses of around 5-10%, we plan to collect around 1000 cases for the construction of a multivariate model adjusted for key confounding factors. If the number of cases collected is less than the above, we plan to use other methods such as propensity score matching for sufficient background factor adjustment.
