Leave or Laparoscopic Appendectomy With Normal Findings - a Regional Cohort Study
Sponsor: Nordsjaellands Hospital
Summary
Based on a regional cohort, this study we will try to demonstrate the superiority of routine laparoscopic appendectomy vs. leaving an intraoperative assessed normal appendix in situ in cases of normal findings at diagnostic laparoscopy. If routine laparoscopic appendectomy is not superior, we will recommend leaving the "normal" appendix in situ.
