JAMA | Original Investigation: Kaplan-Meier graph showing time to true appendicitis recurrence after antibiotic therapy at 10-year follow-up. The graph shows increasing recurrence over time, from 0 to around 37% at 10 years.

In adults with uncomplicated #appendicitis, 44% treated with antibiotics required appendectomy within 10 years, but complication rates were lower and quality of life similar to surgery.

Meta-analysis of antibiotics versus appendicectomy for non-perforated acute appendicitis - PubMed The choice of medical versus surgical management in patients with clearly uncomplicated appendicitis is value- and preference-dependent, suggesting a change in practice towards shared decision-making is necessary.

This #SystematicReview and #MetaAnalysis shook up the surgical world when results suggested that #antibiotics rather than #surgery may, for many patients, be the best management for their #appendicitis.
