Implication

Retrospective cohort study finds early drainage removal reduces complications in patients with perforated appendicitis, suggesting improved recovery times.

Key Points

Patients experiencing early drainage removal had a 3.4% overall complications rate compared to 17.9% in the control group.
The experimental group showed a significantly reduced incidence of intraabdominal abscesses at 3.4% versus 11.6% in the control group.
Postoperative length of stay significantly decreased from 6 days in the control group to 4 days in the experimental group.
The experimental group also had lower hospitalization costs at 9,705 CNY, compared to 10,851 CNY in the control group.
