Appendectomy, represents the most common emergency surgery in surgical services worldwide, this pathology is not without complications despite technological advances in surgery, anesthesiology and resuscitation, minimizing operative trauma. Its most common complication is that of the operative site (or failure to heal), followed by intra-abdominal abscesses and gastrointestinal abscesses (postoperative paralytic ileus). The causes that condition it are still poorly understood, so its determination would be important to reduce post-operative morbidity and mortality. This post-operative medical condition begins when bacteria enter the surgical site.Infections can slow the healing process and can spread to nearby tissues or organs, or to distant areas through the bloodstream. Treatment of infected wounds may include the following: Antibiotics, Abscess drainage (accumulations of pus under the skin that are produced by the infection). Opening the incision to remove the infected material. It is important to emphasize that infection of the operative site depends on many factors, among which are cited: the virulence of the causal germ, the patient's response to the infection, the skill of the surgeon, the criteria to determine that an infection exists, as well as the status of the appendix in the surgical act, noting that its frequency is lower for early appendicitis than the perforated ones. Patients who intervene with a more precarious physical condition have a worse prognosis, because they increase the possibilities of presenting postoperative complications. The frequency and severity of this condition still take human lives unnecessarily and is a topical issue due to its economic, social and scientific impact.
