Summary

This study will investigate the need for and length of postoperative activity restrictions in children following a laparoscopic appendectomy or inguinal hernia repair. Currently, no consensus exists and restrictions are based on doctors' experience and preference. Children and their parents/guardians will decide if they wish to participate in this study. Those who wish to participate and who are eligible to participate will decide which postoperative activity restrictions they would like the child to follow. The child will follow either 1) doctor-directed restrictions or 2) self-directed restrictions.A parent or guardian will complete a survey 1-3 months after the procedure, to assess patient and family satisfaction and patient outcome.
