Abstract Background This study examined whether drain placement or not is associated with the postoperative outcomes of pediatric patients following trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopic appendectomy (TUSPLA) for complicated appendicitis. Methods The medical records of pediatric patients undergoing TUSPLA for acute complicated appendicitis from January 2012 to September 2018 in Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital were reviewed retrospectively. They were classified according to whether they received passive drainage with a Penrose drain (Penrose group) (19), active drainage with a Jackson-Pratt drain with a vacuum bulb (JP group) (16), or no drain (non-drain group) (86). The postoperative outcomes of the three groups were compared. Results Postoperative visual analog scale pain score was significantly higher in the non-drain group than in either the JP group or Penrose group. Patients in the Penrose group had a significantly longer postoperative hospital stay than those in the non-drain group and a higher rate of intra-abdominal abscess, while patients in the JP group had a significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay; moreover, no patient in JP group developed a postoperative intra-abdominal abscess. Conclusions Compared to passive drainage with a Penrose drain or no drain, active drainage with a JP drain shorter the postoperative hospital stay and decreased the risk of postoperative intra-abdominal abscess.

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: A COVID–19-pandémia miatt a gyermekkori appendicitisek kezelésében számos változás történt (laparoszkópia helyett nyílt műtét, antibiotikumkezelés). Világszerte emelkedett a szövődményes appendicitisek aránya. Célkitűzés: Munkánk során a COVID–19-járványnak a gyermekkori akut appendicitisekre kifejtett hatását szerettük volna vizsgálni: lett-e több perforált eset? Módszerek: A 2012 és 2020 között akut vakbélgyulladás miatt operált gyermekeket vizsgáltuk, külön, havi bontásban a 2020-as eseteket. A szövettani diagnózis alapján perforált és nem perforált appendicitis csoportokat alkottunk. A 2020-ban operált betegek COVID–19-statusát is rögzítettük. Statisztikai analízisre a khi2-próbát (’chi2 test for trend’) és a Fisher-féle egzakt tesztet alkalmaztuk. Eredmények: A vizsgált időszakban 1343 appendectomia történt, többségében nem perforált akut appendicitis miatt (1166/1343). 2015-től kezdődően a perforált esetek aránya szignifikáns emelkedést mutat (p = 0,0002). Az igazoltan COVID–19-pozitív betegek között magasabb volt a perforáltak aránya (5/8), mint az igazoltan negatív betegek között (15/92) (p = 0,0075). Megbeszélés: A nemzetközi trendeknek megfelelően 2020-ban osztályunkon is magasabb volt a perforált appendicitisek aránya, mint a korábbi években. Ez az emelkedés 2015-től tart, a pandémiával nem mutat szoros összefüggést. A perforált appendicitisek COVID–19-pozitív betegek között észlelt magas arányának okát nem ismerjük. Következtetés: További vizsgálat indokolt annak feltárására, hogy mi okozza a perforált appendicitisek COVID–19-pozitív betegek között észlelt magas, illetve 2015 óta emelkedő rátáját. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(16): 608–610. Summary. Introduction: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the management of paediatric appendicitis has changed (open instead of laparoscopic appendectomy, antibiotic treatment). The number of complicated appendicitis cases increased worldwide. Objective: Our aim was to study the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on paediatric acute appendicitis: has there been more perforated cases? Methods: Children operated because of acute appendicitis between 2012 and 2020 were studied. Cases from the year 2020 were analysed monthly. Patients were divided into perforated and non-perforated appendicitis groups according to their histological findings. COVID-19 status of patients in 2020 was studied. Chi2 test for trend and Fisher’s exact test were used for statistical analysis. Results: In the study period, 1343 appendectomies were performed. The majority of our cases were non-perforated (1166/1343). The rate of perforated appendicitis cases has been increasing from 2015 (p = 0.0002). The number of perforated cases was higher in COVID-19 positive patients (5/8) then in negative ones (15/92) (p = 0.0075). Discussion: In line with the international trend, more perforated appendicitis cases were treated in our departement in 2020. However, this increase started in 2015, and there is no correlation with the COVID-19 pandemic. The cause of the increased number of perforated cases in COVID-19 positive appendicitis patients is unknown. Conclusion: The causes of the high proportion of perforated cases in COVID-19 positive patients and the rising rate of perforated appendicitis cases since 2015 need further studies.

The article presents an overview of laparoscopic appendectomy experience in 3,766 children with complicated appendicitis in the clinic of the Department of Paediatric Surgery of the Russian State Medical Academy of Continuous Vocational Education (Moscow). The authors showed the high efficiency of laparoscopic techniques in the operative treatment. The features of tactics in destructive appendicitis and peritonitis are highlighted.
