Objective: To determine whether overweight-obesity in pediatric patients with acute appendicitis is a risk factor for a higher rate of post-surgical complications compared to those with normal weight. Methods: Patients were divided into two cohorts, each consisting of 101 patients: one with overweight-obesity and the other with normal weight, following specific selection criteria. The required sample size was determined, and descriptive and analytical statistical tests, such as Chi-square and Student's t-test, were applied to compare clinical characteristics and complications between the groups. The study was conducted at the Regional Teaching Hospital of Trujillo between January 2018 and June 2023. Results: Significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of age (9.11 ± 3.79 vs. 10.94 ± 4.21 years; p = 0.001), male sex (60.40% vs. 45.54%; p = 0.034), BMI (23.38 ± 3.49 vs. 18.97 ± 2.77; p = 0.001), and the type of appendicitis, with more complicated cases in the overweight-obesity group (gangrenous: 32.67% vs. 19.80% and perforated: 43.57% vs. 36.63%; p = 0.008). Significant associations were found between overweight-obesity and the occurrence of postoperative complications overall (29.70% vs. 16.83%; RR = 1.39, 95% CI [1.06-1.83], p = 0.030), and specifically, postoperative ileus (19.80% vs. 4.95%; RR = 1.75, 95% CI [1.36-2.25], p = 0.001). No significant differences were observed in other complications such as surgical site infection or the presence of intraabdominal abscess. Conclusion: This study suggests that overweight-obesity in pediatric patients with acute appendicitis is significantly associated with a higher risk of postoperative complications, particularly postoperative ileus
