To demonstrate that the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis is comparable to antibiotic treatment in the prevention of surgical site infection (SSI) in patients operated for acute non-perforated appendicitis. Methods: Observational, analytical, cohort and prospective study in patients operated on acute non-perforated appendicitis at the Hospital Belén de Trujillo between September 2018 and April 2019. Sixty patients were divided in two groups of thirty each. Patients in group A had one day of combined therapy of ceftriaxone and intravenous metronidazole (antibiotic prophylaxis), while those in group B received the same treatment during their hospital stay and after discharge, ciprofloxacin and oral metronidazole until completing 5 days of antibiotic treatment (antibiotic treatment), according to the criteria of the visiting doctor. Patients of both groups were followed up for 30 days to evaluate the presentation of SSI. Results: Both groups were comparable in initial characteristics. The results reflect a mayor percentage of SSI in group A with 13.33% compared to group B with 10% presentation. These results were not statistically significant (p value = 0.69). Conclusion: The use of antibiotic prophylaxis is as effective as antibiotic treatment in the prevention of SSI in patients operated on for acute non-perforated appendicitis. The use of antibiotic treatment did not reduce the presentation of SSI; on the contrary, it increased them. Postoperative antibiotics increased the cost of the treatment and the hospital stay without adding a clinical benefit
