Description
Chun Gao and three co-authors report on a camera guided treatment for long standing appendicitis in patients whose main complaint is diarrhea, in this 2026 study. This form of appendicitis drags on with vague symptoms and is often mistaken for a bowel disorder. The treatment threads a scope into the appendix to wash it out under direct view, sparing the organ instead of removing it.
The team reviewed 55 patients treated this way. Before care, patients averaged about seven loose stools a day, and scopes found stones inside the appendix in over ninety percent. After treatment, stools fell to about one and a half a day with normal form, and blood signs of inflammation improved. At six months about eighty-six percent stayed largely symptom free, with no major complications.
