Abstract:Objective: To explore the clinical significance of diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) on acute appendicitis.Methods: The clinical data of 30 patients with acute simple, suppurative, perforated appendicitis or periappendiceal abscess admitted to Jinshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2018 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up was performed using telephone interview combined with the outpatient examination. The success rate of ERAT treatment, postoperative and follow-up situation were collected and analyzed.Results: Of the 30 patients with acute appendicitis, 29 patients underwent ERAT successfully, the success rate was 96.7% (29/30). All the 29 patients experienced relief of pain immediately after ERAT treatment. During the follow-up period, 1 case had acute appendicitis recurrence after ERAT. The recurrence rate was 3.4% (1/29). Conclusions: ERAT can effectively and safely treat acute appendicitis.
