| Core Tip |
Endoscopic direct appendicitis therapy (EDAT) shows clear clinical advantages over endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) in the management of uncomplicated appendicitis. EDAT achieved significantly higher intervention success and lower recurrence rates, including in patients with appendicoliths, a subgroup at a high risk of antibiotic treatment failure. It also shortens hospital stay and stent replacement, improving procedural efficiency. As the first head-to-head comparison of EDAT and ERAT, this study provided novel evidence supporting EDAT as a more effective, minimally invasive option, with important implications for evolving non-surgical management strategies. |
