Flowchart titled 'Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Appendicitis.' It starts with 'Right lower quadrant pain,' then moves to 'Risk stratification scores' before diagnosing based on AIR, AAS, or PAS. Subsequent steps include imaging and treatment options based on the diagnosis.
The 2025 WSES #Appendicitis guidelines recommend risk stratification and imaging for diagnosis, outpatient antibiotics for uncomplicated cases, and laparoscopic surgery within 24 hours for surgical management.

An editorial from JAMA, published January 21, 2026, titled "The Appendicitis Gamble—to Cut or to Keep" by Anthony Charles, MD, MPH, discusses managing acute appendicitis, weighing antibiotic vs. surgical approaches.
💬 Editorial: Among adults with acute uncomplicated #appendicitis, findings from the APPAC trial indicate that antibiotic therapy remains a safe and feasible alternative to #appendectomy; the decision "to cut or to keep" should be individualized.

JAMA article on antibiotic therapy for acute appendicitis shows a Kaplan-Meier graph. It charts recurrence over 10 years, rising to nearly 40%. Text reads: "JAMA | Original Investigation", "Published online January 21, 2026".
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.

Inflammation of the appendix, acute #appendicitis, is one of the most common reasons for acute abdominal pain in children and adults and surgical emergency visits worldwide. https://www.nature.c
A graphic showing the anatomy of the appendix.
An appendicolith, found in approximately 25-40% of patients presenting with #appendicitis, can be seen in the lumen of the inflamed appendix causing dilatation of the appendix and thickening of the appendiceal wall. https://www.nature.c
A schematic listing the Scoring system of Appendicitis Severity (SAS) nomogram.
The Scoring systems for #Appendicitis Severity combines imaging with clinical and biochemical features, using ultrasonography or CT features. https://www.nature.c
Diagnostic imaging of acute appendicitis.
Unlike clinical examination and laboratory tests assessing indirect signs of #appendicitis, imaging tests can directly visualize an inflamed or normal appendix. https://www.nature.c
A graphic displaying the Proposed pathophysiology of acute appendicitis.
The mildest form of appendicitis is characterised by a transmural invasion of neutrophils while in complicated acute #appendicitis, the inflammation and associated vascular thrombosis results in appendiceal wall necrosis. https://www.nature.c
A schematic showing Time trends for different forms of appendicitis severity observed in US hospitals.
In the US and Europe, hospital admissions for uncomplicated acute #appendicitis without peritonitis have been declining since 2005 while admissions for severe or perforated appendicitis have remained constant. https://www.nature.c
Although #appendicitis causes a substantial burden on the healthcare system globally, mortality rate of appendicitis is low and decreasing, currently estimated as 0.36 per 100 000 patient years. https://www.nature.c
