Histopathological Findings of Appendix Specimens in Quiescent Ulcerative Colitis: Correlations With Clinical Outcomes in the ACCURE Trial

Although the benefit of appendicectomy in this group cannot be confirmed on these data alone, the finding might be clinically relevant as relapse rates are significantly reduced in the appendicectomy group.
