| Core Tip |
Kupietzky et al’s study challenges traditional paradigms by demonstrating that appendicoliths alone do not independently elevate long-term recurrence risks in uncomplicated acute appendicitis, thereby reframing nonoperative management as a viable option for low-risk patients. Instead, clinical decisions should prioritize individualized risk assessments—incorporating symptom severity, imaging markers (e.g., appendix diameter > 1 cm), and shared decision-making with patients—while emphasizing close surveillance (especially within the initial 6–12 months) to enable timely intervention for recurrences. |
