RESUMEN

Introducción:

la apendicitis aguda es la afección de resolución quirúrgica que se presenta con mayor frecuencia en la guardia médica hospitalaria. Se considera que un 7% de la población general es afectada. Etiológicamente, se ha considerado como mecanismo principal de inicio de la apendicitis aguda la obstrucción de la luz apendicular.

Objetivo:

identificar factores relacionados a complicaciones en los pacientes apendicectomizados concernientes a edad, tiempo de evolución y formas anátomo-patológicas. Material y

métodos:

se realizó un estudio con 223 pacientes operados por vía laparotómica, en el Servicio de Cirugía General del Nuevo Hospital San Roque, con diagnóstico histopatológico de apendicitis aguda, durante un período de 6 meses, Enero a Junio del año 2013. Ochenta y ocho fueron del sexo femenino y 135 masculinos.

Resultados:

la edad promedio fue de 29,5 años. Las formas anátomo-patológicas que se registraron fueron edematosa 29 (13%), flegmonosa 92 (41,2%) y gangrenosa 102 (45,7%). Las complicaciones estuvieron presentes en 21,9% de los operados, siendo consideradas en este estudio el absceso de pared, el hemoperitoneo, el íleo postoperatorio, las colecciones abdominales, la evisceración, el hematoma de pared y óbitos.

Conclusiones:

en las apendicitis agudas con una evolución entre 24 y 48 horas prevalecen las formas gangrenosas, lo que produce un mayor número de complicaciones, aumentando la morbi-mortalidad y consecuentemente el tiempo de internación.
ABSTRACT

Etiologically, it has been considered as the main mechanism of onset of acute appendicitis appendicular obstruction light. The aim of this study was to identify factors related to complications in patients appendectomy concerning age, duration and anatomic-pathological forms.

Objective:

to identify factors related to complications in appendectomy patients regarding age, time evolution and histopathological forms. Material and

methods:

we conducted a study with 223 patients operated by laparotomy in the General Surgery Service of the Nuevo Hospital San Roque with histopathological diagnosis of acute appendicitis, for a period of six months, from January to June of 2013. Eighty-eight were female and 135 male.

Results:

the average age was 29.5 years. Histopathological forms recorded were edematous 29 (13%), Phlegmonous 92 (41.2%) and gangrenous 102 (45.7%). Complications were present in 21.9% of the operated patients being considered in this study the wall abscess, hemoperitoneum, postoperative ileus, abdominal collections, evisceration, wall hematoma and deaths.

Conclusion:

in acute appendicitis with an evolution between 24 and 48 hours gangrenous forms prevail, resulting in a greater number of complications, increased morbidity and mortality and consequently the length of stay.
