Acute appendicitis it's a frequent disease in every emergency room around world hospitals; for this disease the boarding of appendix is through median, transversal, para median laparoscopic incisión and transumbilical boarding. This Word it's based in actual facts of minimal invading surgery of the abdominal wall; that involves remove the appendix through the umbilical región with an incisión through the umbilicus that does not exceed 5cm in length. This boarding fulfils Maingot postulates aside offering a safe solution also obtains an acceptable aesthetics scar. The study was conducted at the Hospital Obrero N°2 de la Caja Nacional de Salud where 57 patients were submitted to surgery between June 2006 to January 2010 with transumbilical technique. Morbidity was 13% without mortality; a seeking of two and a half years was made without finding incisión hernias or intestinal occlusion. We recommend realizing transumbilical surgical for appendectomy in acute non complicated appendicitis that because it's safe, it's easy to perform and provides superior cosmetic results than the other boarding of approach.
