ABSTRACT

In the last decades, it has been paied attention to the results of the surgical activity due to the economic weight this activity yields in the health services, the advances in the improvement of perioperative cares and the growing institutional occupation due to the quality in the care and the population´s satisfaction. The development and implementation of clinical practice guides have contributed to that purpose. These guides reduce the variation in the cares of surgical patients and increase their efficiency, which allows patients to be benefited by institutional initiatives aimed to improve health care´s quality. Acute appendicitis is, with no doubts, the disease that characterizes emergencie´s surgical care in most of the facilities devoted to children and adolescents´health care. Its frequency, the variation of clinical characteristics in the different age groups and the increasing reports on the possibility of being treated by non-surgical approaches makes necessary a review on the topic. At the IV National Symposium on Pediatric Surgery (Varadero, Matanzas, 2019 July 1-3), a “Clinical Practice Guide for Acute Appendicitis” was presented, discussed and approved. Sharing the guideline through publication would allow similar services to use it as a reference for applying the model in their own institutions, benefiting a greater number of patients.
