r Volume 256, Number 4, October 2012 Irrigation Versus Suction Alone for Perforated Appendicitis and duration of antibiotics.8,9 Neither of these studies demonstrated a difference in abscess rate, so in this study, attention was focused on the technical details of the operation itself. The abscess rate was not only the same between groups in this study, but it was also the same as found in each arm of our previous randomized trials.8,9 These data continue to confirm the fixed abscess rate in our system when using the definition for perforation as a hole in the appendix or fecalith in the abdomen.7 Estimates of abscess rates from retrospective studies and databases are universally lower that those we document, but these numbers are unreliable with varying surgical opinion on classifying a patient as perforated. Another recent prospective trial, which also strictly defined perforation, found a 19% abscess rate in those undergoing appendectomy upon presentation for perforated appendicitis.14 Although we recognize there is a spectrum of illness FIGURE 1. Fever curves between irrigation and suction only even with contaminated appendicitis, under this definition it seems groups. patients with a risk of abscess are separated from those with minimal risk, which diminishes the need for concerning ourselves for trying to assess the extent of contamination or inflammation. Furthermore, randomization should overcome the spectrum of disease, especially TABLE 3.

None of the partic- ipating surgeons routinely used more than a liter of irrigation before the study. More frequently, the full liter used as the mean volume of irrigant was 867 mL. Also, surgeons could irrigate as much of the abdomen as they deemed necessary but were not required to per- form full 4-quadrant irrigation. We felt this would capture common and reasonable practice for irrigation. The notion that more irrigation is no better than some comes from 3 randomized trials comparing continuous peritoneal lavage for 24 hours postoperatively to intraop- erative lavage only for perforated appendicitis.15–17 There were no differences in outcomes in 2 trials,15,16 whereas the other found an increase in septic complications with ongoing lavage.17 Another facet in the irrigation controversy involves the use of antibiotics within the irrigant. Several prospective randomized tri- als have evaluated the use of antibiotic irrigation in the presence of peritoneal contamination.18–25 These trials encompassed a wide variety of methodologies and patients, with inconsistencies in the presence or technique of lavage in the control group, use of systemic antibiotics, inclusion criteria, and definitions of infectious compli- cations. A meta-analysis of 7 of these trials, 6 of which focused on adult patients, found that control patients not receiving an antibiotic FIGURE 2.
