Yervant Ichkhanian et al. Endoscopic full-thickness resection of polyps involving the appendiceal orifice: a multicenter international experience

Technical and clinical success rates of EFTR were found to be high (89 % and 80 %, respectively); however, appendicitis occurred in 17 % of patients, of whom 60 % required surgery.
