In patients with uncomplicated acute appendicitis who received antibiotics, the rate of recurrence and subsequent appendectomy at 10 years suggests that this strategy is a safe alternative to surgery. A study published on MedPage Today confirms that antibiotic treatment remains acceptable after ten years of follow-up. Patients underwent nonsurgical therapy instead of immediate surgery. The results show the feasibility of this approach in the long term. No other specific recidivism rate statistics are provided in the content provided. This finding supports the possibility of avoiding surgery in suitable patients.
