This study evaluates the Safety and Efficacy of a outpatient appendectomy. Half of participants will be perform the hospitalization, while the other half will undergo the outpatient appendectomy
Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common causes of acute abdomen and one of the most frequent diagnoses that require urgent surgery worldwide.
Many laparoscopic procedures are currently performed on an outpatient basis.Laparoscopic appendectomy, however, continues to require postoperative hospitalization averaging between 1 and 2 days, at most institutions.
At present ambulatory laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) are gained popularity due to the improved understanding of patient selection criteria, the application of enhanced recovery pathways, and the potential for improving healthcare resource utilization.
There are few studies about to compare the morbidity and readmission rates between ambulatory and conventional LA.
There is a lack of high-quality comparative studies making conclusive recommendations not possible at this time. Based on current data, ambulatory LA may be safe and feasible as compared with conventional LA.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outpatient appendectomy | Experimental | Patients with acute uncomplicated appendicitis that require emergency appendectomy. The intervention will be the classic.Once the appendectomy is performed, all the selection criteria will be reassessed and the definitive inclusion of the patients will be performed. Patients after surgery will go to the anesthetic recovery room without requiring hospital admission. The degree of satisfaction of the quality of the service and the care that must be completed before discharge and after surgery will be recorded. 1 phone review call will be made per month +/- 30 days in order to assess the safety and satisfaction of the procedure. |

| Hospitalization appendectomy | Active Comparator | Patients with acute uncomplicated appendicitis that require emergency appendectomy. The intervention will be the classic.Once the appendectomy is performed, all the selection criteria will be reassessed and the definitive inclusion of the patients will be performed. Patients after surgery will go to the anesthetic recovery room and then be admitted to hospital beds, to be discharged within approximately 12 hours. 1 phone review call will be made per month +/- 30 days in order to assess the safety and satisfaction of the procedure. |

| Outpatient (OA) | Procedure | Patients who are candidates for OA and therefore pre-selected based on the primary data and characteristics of the clinical signs, will be admitted to the surgical observation in charge of our service. The patient will be informed in detail of the intervention to be performed and discharge on an outpatient basis and will sign the informed consent understanding and thus accepting all the information. The patient will undergo surgery using a laparoscopic or open technique with minimal incision. Once the appendectomy is performed, all the selection criteria will be reassessed and the definitive inclusion of the patients will be performed. In this case, we will perform the blind randomization of the patients. If all the inclusion requirements for the study are met, and the patient belongs to the OA group (case group), he will be discharged on an outpatient basis from the post-surgical stay unit without requiring hospital admission. |
