Acute appendicitis is the main cause of surgical acute abdomen in adults and children. Appendectomy is the treatment of choice and is performed open or laparoscopically, so it is sought to compare which technique has less prevalence of post-surgical infection, for which a bibliographic review was carried out through a systematic search of articles in the databases. : Pubmed, academic Google, Bvs, Lilacs, Springer and Scopus. Searches were performed from March 2022 to July 2022. Filters were used according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the total studies are 745; But, considering the objective and the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 6 articles were finally used that were fully adapted to the theme. Therefore, we conclude that the laparoscopic technique has a lower prevalence of post-surgical infections in these patients.
