Introduction:

Videolaparoscopic appendectomy is a safe option for the etiological diagnosis and treatment of acute appendicitis. The objective of this study is to determine the rate of complications of videolaparoscopic appendectomy in patients treated with surgery at Hospital Central del Instituto de Previsión Socialin Asunción Paraguay from January through December 2021.

Materials and methods:

This is an observational, descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional, non-probabilistic study of consecutive cases. Reviews of the procedural records from patients treated with videolaparoscopic appendectomy, individuals > 16 years old-including both sexes-were conducted at the aforementioned center from January through December 2021.

Results:

62 patients were studied, 54.8% were women and 45.2% men, with a mean age of the study participants of 34 years (range,16 to 90 years). A 4.8% rate of complications was reported: surgical site infections (3.2%) and hemoperitoneum (1.6%). The mean length of stay (LoS) was 2.2 days.

Conclusion
