OBJECTIVES: To determine the main factors associated with postoperative complications of acute appendicitis in the Hospital MINSA II-2 Tarapoto, during the period from January to December 2017. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective qualitative study was conducted in 635 patients. Associations were determined between patients surgically treated for acute appendicitis and a postoperative complication. RESULTS: 18% of the series suffered some type of complication, mainly in the infection of the operative site. The complications were associated to the age group between 20 and 29 years, as well as in the most advanced histopathological forms of the condition. The appearance of such complications can be cause of re-interventions and increase of the hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS: Early diagnosis of the disease and immediate appendectomy with an adequate surgical technique prevent the appearance of postsurgical complications and determine the success of the only effective treatment against the most common condition that causes the acute abdomen, whose prognosis depends to a great extent and between other factors, the time of preoperative evolution and the phase in which the process is found when performing the intervention.
