Every year, 7 out of 1,000 people worldwide suffer from appendicitis. If appendicitis is acute, anesthesia and surgery must be performed immediately, without delay.

Experts believe that treating appendicitis with resistance
Uncomplicated births still bring good results.

However, scientists from the Center for Gastrointestinal Diseases of Nottingham in England announced that using antibiotics more effectively is interfering with surgery if there is no complication, Medical Xpress magazine said.

The researchers tracked the results of treating 900 elderly patients with uncomplicated acute appendicitis. Of these 430 surgical and 470 remaining patients were treated with 'classic' antibiotics .

As a result, 63% of patients taking antibiotics did not show any inflammatory symptoms within 1 year. The risk of developing complications after treatment in this group is 31% lower than that in the surgical group. Scientists have found that the time of motionlessness and the effectiveness of the actual treatment of both treatments is no different.

Experts say that antibiotic treatment is only suitable for uncomplicated patients. When there are symptoms of peritonitis, surgery is required.

Dr. Olaf Bucker, Department of Anatomy of the Medical Center of Utrecht University, Netherlands, commented: "The method of treating appendicitis with antibiotics also has certain disadvantages. About 20% can be relapse." .
