BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic appendicitis is a condition with chronic abdominal pain or mild attacks of appendicitis, seriously affecting the patient's quality of life. Endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) has emerged as a promising, non-invasive treatment for acute uncomplicated appendicitis. Here, we aim to assess the safety and efficacy of ERAT for chronic fecalith appendicitis.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of consecutive patients who underwent ERAT for chronic fecalith appendicitis at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China between December 2017 and June 2023. Clinicopathological characteristics, procedure-related parameters, AEs, and follow-up outcomes were analyzed.
RESULTS: A total of 60 patients were included. ERAT intubation was successfully performed in all patients (100%). The median procedure time was 15 min (IQR, 12-25 min). The postoperative abdominal pain scores were significantly reduced (P < 0.0001). Short-term adverse events included 5 cases of abdominal pain (8.3%) and 2 cases of fever (3.3%). Long-term adverse events included recurrent abdominal pain in 3 cases (5.0%) and recurrent appendicitis in 2 cases (3.3%). The median time to recurrence was 5 months (IQR, 2-12 months). Logistic regression analysis revealed appendiceal stenosis (OR 25.000, 95% CI 1.114-561.281, P = 0.043) and distorted appendix lumen (OR 12.500, 95% CI 1.373-113.806, P = 0.025) as significant risk factors for long-term adverse events.
CONCLUSIONS: ERAT may be a safe, effective and minimally invasive alternative approach for chronic fecalith appendicitis. Appendix lumen stenosis and distortion are risk factors of recurrence. Further large-scale prospective studies are necessary to assess the efficacy and safety of ERAT compared with antibiotic therapy and surgery.
