Complicaciones de la apendicectomía laparoscópica versus apendicectomia convencional en el Hospital General IESS Riobamba, noviembre 2018 – mayo 2019

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determinate the most frequent post-surgical complications in laparoscopic appendectomy versus conventional appendectomy at the IESS Riobamba General Hospital from November 2018 to May 2019. For the development of this research, patient data will be taken between 15 and 85 years, surgically intervened by appendix surgery resolved either by laparoscopy or conventional in the aforementioned period. It was found that in the case of open surgery 30% of patients undergoing surgery presented complications compared to 11% of patients who underwent laparoscopy; Among the most frequent complications after conventional appendicectomy, we find prolonged post-surgical pain with 34% of cases and infection of the surgical site with 26%, while those patients resolved by laparoscopy find postsurgical pain in 11% of cases. Concluded that laparoscopic surgery presents fewer complications than conventional surgery, so this procedure should have first-line problems for surgical resolution of acute appendicitis, therefore it is recommended to promote the routine use of laparoscopic surgery for the resolution of appendicitis due to the benefits for both short and long term patients demonstrated in the present study.
