Methods: This prospectiv....[more]
Aim of the study: Managing wound closure in complicated appendicitis presents major challenges. This quasi-experimental study, employing propensity score matching, aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of primary closure compared with delayed primary closure for preventing surgical site infections (SSIs) in complicated appendicitis.
Methods: Patients with complicated appendicitis undergoing open appendectomy were selected using a quasi-experimental design. Propensity score matching minimized confounding factors, and comparative statistical an....[more]
