RESUMEN
La apendicitis aguda es la patología quirúrgica abdominal más común en el mundo y representa la principal causa de cirugía abdominal de urgencia; se informa que su mayor frecuencia es en la población de entre 20 y 30 años y no presenta predominio de género. Su presentación clínica es variable en algunas ocasiones, por lo que se deben utilizar estudios imagenológicos para su diagnóstico certero. El tratamiento de la apendicitis aguda es mediante cirugía con abordaje laparoscópico o abierto. El propósito de nuestra revisión es exponer la información actualizada sobre este tema tan común.
