U.S., Dec. 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07274878) titled 'Interrupted vs Subcuticular Sutures With Drain in Open Appendectomy' on Nov. 19.
Brief Summary: The primary aim of this study is to compare wound outcomes between two closure strategies after open appendectomy:
1. Simple interrupted skin sutures (standard method), versus
2. Subcuticular (intradermal) skin suture combined with a subcutaneous closed suction drain.
