Objective: To determine the prevalence and etiology of appendicitis in patients attended at the Surgery Service of the Basic Hospital IESS Latacunga. Method: Systematic scientific observation of the medical records of patients with appendicitis. Results: Hospitalization time was determined according to the type of surgery where 83.38% or 326 patients underwent open appendectomies which require 3 to 4 postoperative days. Conclusion: The practice of open appendectomies was evidenced in 326 patients with a hospitalization time of 3 to 4 days. On the other hand, 65 patients underwent laparoscopic appendectomies with a postoperative period of 1 to 2 days with better advantages such as quick recovery and lower incidence of infections.
