Some postoperative complications are inevitable, such as incision infection, abdominal infection and bowel obstruction. Appendix has been recognized as the important part of immune system. Precise diagnosis and treatment of acute appendicitis need clinical advances. Endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) was developed to diagnose and treat acute appendicitis.
