摘要：This article presents an overview of endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy(ERAT),an innovative and minimally invasive treat-ment for appendicitis with an appendix-preserving manner.Since its initial application in 2009,ERAT has gained significant popular-ity in China,due to its rapid recovery and minimal risk of complications.The ERAT procedures comprise several steps,including appendiceal orifice access and intubation,appendiceal lumen imaging,decompression and irrigation,fecalith removal,and stenting.ERAT has been used in various forms of complicated appendicitis,such as in pregnant women and children,with continuous improvements in both technique and safety.It has the potential to become the preferred diagnostic and treatment method for ap-pendicitis.Until 2023,over 10,000 ERAT procedures have been successfully conducted in China,and the technique has gained more attention worldwide.However,challenges remain,including training,standardization of ERAT practice,research and technology im-provement,enhancing public awareness,and fostering international collaboration.In summary,ERAT can be the standard treatment for appendicitis treatment,which represents a paradigm shift in the conventional clinical practice.
