Objetivo: La apendicitis aguda es uno de los procedimientos quirúrgicos más aplicados en todo el mundo. Una de las complicaciones de la apendicectomía es la apendicitis del muñón. El diagnóstico de apendicitis del muñón suele retrasarse.
MÉtodos: En nuestro estudio recopilamos casos de apendicitis del muñón tras apendicectomía. Todos los casos con apendicectomía abierta y laparoscópica fueron incluidos en nuestro estudio.
Resultados: Entre 2008 y 2020 se examinaron 5620 pacientes apendicectomizados que fueron operados en la clínica de cirugía general. Se realizó apendicectomía en 5 pacientes por apendicitis del muñón. Uno de los pacientes con apendicitis del muñón presentó síntomas de peritonitis generalizada, otro con síntomas de íleo, el otro con síntomas de hernia de incisión encarcelada en la incisión de Mc Burney y los otros dos pacientes con síntomas de apendicitis aguda.
Conclusiones: Como se desprende de nuestro estudio, si bien la apendicectomía es el procedimiento quirúrgico más común y fácil de ver en la práctica quirúrgica general, es un procedimiento que aumenta la morbilidad como vemos en los pacientes con apendicitis del muñón. La tomografía abdominal parece ser el estándar de oro en el diagnóstico de la apendicitis del muñón. Los cirujanos definitivamente deben sospechar apendicitis del muñón en pacientes cuyos síntomas han mejorado, incluso con cicatrices de apendicectomía abierta.
Objective: Acute appendicitis is among the most applied surgical procedures around the world. One of the complications of appendectomy is stump appendicitis. The diagnosis of stump appendicitis is usually delayed.
Material And Method: In our study, we compiled cases with stump appendicitis after appendectomy. All cases with open and laparoscopic appendectomy were included in our study.
Results: Between 2008 and 2020, 5620 appendectomy patients who were operated in the general surgery clinic were examined. Appendectomy was performed in five patients due to stump appendicitis. One of the patients with stump appendicitis presented with symptoms of generalized peritonitis, another with symptoms of ileus, the other with symptoms of incarcerated incision hernia at the McBurney incision, and the other two patients with symptoms of acute appendicitis.
Conclusion: As it can be understood from our study, although appendectomy is the most common and easily seen surgical procedure in general surgical practice, it is a procedure that increases morbidity as we see in patients with stump appendicitis. Abdominal tomography appears to be the gold standard in diagnosis in stump appendicitis. Surgeons should definitely suspect stump appendicitis in patients whose symptoms have improved, even with open appendectomy scarring.

Background: Acute appendicitis is widely recognized as the prevailing abdominal surgical emergency globally, exhibiting an annual incidence ranging from 96.5 to 100 cases per 100,000 adults. Conversely, situs inversus totalis is a rare anatomical anomaly characterized by the complete reversal of the chest and abdominal organs, occurring in approximately 1 out of every 10,000 to 50,000 individuals.

Background: Literature comparing different alternatives for pain control in the immediate postoperative period of pediatric acute appendicitis (PAA) is scarce.
Materials And Methods: We prospectively compared the analgesic and emetogenic profile of intravenous ibuprofen and metamizole in the immediate postoperative period of PAA. For this purpose, we used a sample of patients operated on in 2021 in our center.
Objective: Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most frequent urgent surgical pathology in the pediatric population, but postoperative management is variable, with protocols minimizing variability. We present our results following the optimization of the management protocol in our institution in order to establish its efficacy in terms of number of infectious complications and optimization of resources in our environment.
Materials And Methods: An observational, retrospective study of patients undergoing AA surgery from January 2018 to August 2022 was carried out.
