To determine whether short-term antibiotic therapy is as effective as long-term antibiotic therapy on preventing complications and length of hospital stay in post-appendectomized patients for complicated appendicitis. Material and methods: A systematic review was carried out on 8 databases. Article search, data extraction, and bias assessment were independently extracted by two reviewers. The outcomes considered were: surgical wound infection, intra-abdominal abscess and hospital stay. Subsequently, the statistical analysis of the selected studies was performed, for which inverse variance method was used; likewise, it was proposed to use the risk ratio (RR) for dichotomous variables and mean difference for continuous variables. Results: A total of 1776 articles were analyzed, of which 4 were included in the review and 3 in the meta-analysis. In the first category, an antibiotic therapy ≤ 3 days versus another one >3 days was evaluated finding a 43 % reduction of intra-abdominal abscess formation for the short-term group (RR: 0.57, 95 % CI 0.34 – 0.94, P: 0.03); nevertheless, no significant differences between these two treatments were revealed in development of surgical wound infection (RR: 0.70, 95 % CI 0.29 – 1.68, P:0.42). Similar results were presented in the second category (antibiotic therapy ≤ 24 hours versus another therapy > 24 hours) with a 46 % decrease in occurrence of intra-abdominal abscess for the short-therapy group (RR: 0.54, 95 % CI 0.31 – 0.95, P: 0.03); however, there were also no statistical differences in development of surgical wound infection (RR: 0.69, 95 % CI 0.29 – 1.64, P: 0.40). Conclusions: Short-term antibiotic therapy reduces length of hospital stay. Likewise it´s as effective as long-term therapy on preventing surgical wound infections and intra-abdominal abscess
