Official Title: Impact of IV Acetaminophen on Post-operative Pain After Laparoscopic Appendectomy for Perforated Appendicitis: A Prospective Randomized Trial
Brief Summary: The objective of this study is to evaluate two standard post-operative pain regimens routinely used after laparoscopic appendectomy for perforated appendicitis. The investigators hypothesize that the use of intravenous (IV) acetaminophen in addition to IV ketorolac with narcotic pain pump will decrease time to transition off patient/nurse controlled analgesia (PCA) to oral pain medications.
