Surgical treatment of acute appendicitis (AA) was golden standard since MacBurney’s description of this condition. This surgical approach was valid, successful and lifesaving for more than 125 years. However, this approach has its morbidities such as wound complications, intra-abdominal adhesions resulting in imminent intestinal obstruction and up to 10% of normal appendectomies. But now in modern surgery, there are good reasons to change routine practice in this specific field.
Therefore, non-operative treatment of uncomplicated AA emerges as a possible alternative management that will provide safe recovery with an intact appendix. In your opinion, is non operative treatment a possible option for managing AA?
