Nobody in their right mind would want appendicitis, but a new study says there is a way to have a fighting chance of avoiding surgery for it. Researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine found 7 in 10 appendicitis patients treated with antibiotics ultimately avoid surgery. Of 1,552 participants from 14 states, about 71% of those who took antibiotics did not have surgery within three months.

The researchers next want to study the frequency of reoccurrence.
