The implementation of and compliance with a post-operative protocol status post appendectomy for PAA demonstrated a trend towards diminishing readmission rates and decreased utilization of CT imaging, but did not affect OSI rates. Additional approaches to diminishing OSI following management of perforated appendicitis need to be evaluated.
