Specialists Queens Medical Centre (Nottingham) to monitor the health of 900 patients hospitalized with appendicitis . The clinical picture of the disease was standard (the disease took place without complications).
430 patients underwent surgery clinic. Another 470 people doctors performed antibiotic therapy .
In 63% of patients treated with antibiotics, the symptoms of appendicitis is not manifested during the year (for further status of their patients, doctors continue to follow). In addition, such therapy will reduce the likelihood of disease worsening of health associated with surgery. The risk of complications was 31% higher than it is in the group of operated people. The effectiveness of treatment of patients with two different methods, as well as the duration of their stay in hospital, remained at the same level.
