To assess the effectiveness of endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) as a new technique and method for chronic fecalith appendicitis complicated by active ulcerative colitis. A 46-year-old male patient was admitted with right iliac fossa pain, tenderness, and raised inflammatory markers. A computed tomography (CT) scan of his abdomen confirmed a dilated appendix, which is considered chronic fecalith appendicitis combined with active ulcerative colitis. He was treated with an endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy procedure. The patient recovered well after the ERAT procedure and was discharged from the hospital in two days. On follow-up one year later, there was no recurrence of pain in his abdomen. In conclusion, ERAT could be seen as a different approach and be favored as a safer and more effective option in treating UC patients with appendicitis, especially those who are later in the course of the disease. Because of the ERAT procedure, such cases can avoid surgery and surgery-related complications. More research and issues must be addressed to demonstrate the efficacy and effectiveness of ERAT in appendicitis combined with UC.
评估内镜逆行性阑尾炎治疗(ERAT)作为一种新的技术和方法,用于治疗伴有活动性溃疡性结肠炎的慢性粪石性阑尾炎。一位 46 岁的男性患者因右髂窝疼痛、压痛和炎症标志物升高而入院。腹部 CT 扫描证实阑尾扩张,考虑为慢性粪石性阑尾炎合并活动性溃疡性结肠炎。他接受了内镜逆行性阑尾炎治疗。ERAT 手术后,患者恢复良好,两天后出院。一年后随访时,腹部无疼痛复发。总之,ERAT 可以被视为一种不同的方法,并被认为是治疗伴有阑尾炎的 UC 患者的一种更安全、更有效的选择,特别是那些疾病晚期的患者。由于 ERAT 手术,这些病例可以避免手术和手术相关的并发症。需要进一步研究和解决更多问题,以证明 ERAT 在合并 UC 的阑尾炎中的疗效和有效性。
