Core Tip Endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) is a feasible, safe, and economical alternative treatment of acute uncomplicated appendicitis, even complicated appendicitis can be an indication of ERAT and the contraindications to ERAT may just be patients who are unable to routine colonoscopy. The potential risk of ERAT is recurrence due to the retain of appendix, which needs more observation. Further research, such as prospective multicenter randomized clinical trials, is necessary to determine the effectiveness and safety of ERAT in various types of appendicitis.
