Over the last 5 years, acute appendicitis (AA) is definitely drawing the scientific attention. As the timing in efficiently and promptly treating patients with AA is essential, any potential blind spot in understanding the disease should be clarified. Consequently, physicians will be able to address the patient towards the more appropriate therapeutic pathway (antibiotic or surgery) and avoid any harmful delay.
