Appendicitis is one of the common surgeries all over the world, and its diagnosis is difficult and based on clinicalexaminations or its symptoms. Moreover, after the surgery is accomplished, it is probable that the patient is faced withcertain problems and complications. In this regard, the present study was carried out in order to review the infectionscaused after appendicitis surgery. The databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct and relevant articleswere collected, in which keywords like appendicitis surgery, perforation, laparoscopy, and infection had been used. A totalnumber of 6,000 articles were retrieved, out of which, 74 relevant articles were examined. The results of the presentstudy indicated that perforated appendix can be the biggest cause of infection and abscess after intra-abdominal surgery.An increase in the level of C-reactive protein and leukocytes is accompanied with the risk of postoperative complicationsincluding infection and abscess. Numerous studies have reported that formation of infection and abscess after laparoscopicappendectomy is a little more than open appendectomy. It is not necessary to consume antibiotics after a non-perforatedappendectomy. It is sufficient to consume antibiotics for 3 to 5 days after a perforated appendectomy to prevent infectionand abscess. With the above results now it is evident that the appendicitis and its complications are still a common problemamong people all over the world. There is still much to discuss among the surgeons with regards to appendicitis and itscomplications
