Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Patient Satisfaction

Background:

  • Same-day discharge (SDD) is a safe protocol for laparoscopic appendectomy in nonperforated appendicitis.
  • Evaluating caregiver satisfaction is crucial for protocol acceptance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess caregiver satisfaction with same-day discharge after laparoscopic appendectomy for acute nonperforated appendicitis.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to caregivers 96 hours post-discharge via email or text.
  • Telephone surveys were used for non-responders.
  • Surveys assessed comfort, pain control, provider contact, and overall satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • The overall satisfaction rate was 91.5% among 129 caregivers.
  • Most caregivers (89.9%) were comfortable with the SDD protocol.
  • Adequate pain control was reported by 91.5% of caregivers.

Conclusions:

  • Caregiver satisfaction and comfort with SDD are high.
  • Effective anticipatory guidance and preoperative education are key to successful SDD.
