Objectives: To study acute surgical abdomens by describing the clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic aspects. Methodology: This was a retrospective descriptive study from July 2019 to June 2021 including all patients taken in the surgical unit for acute surgical abdomens. Results: In 24 months, we collected 117 cases of acute surgical abdomens, or 19.1% of surgical interventions. The mean age was 30.6 ± 16.95 years. The sex ratio was 1.78. The reason for consultation was abdominal pain (100% of cases). The stopping of materials and gases represented 10.3% of cases. Intraperitoneal collection was the most common ultrasound sign found in 47.1% of cases. Acute appendicitis was the most frequent intraoperative diagnosis in 60.7% of cases. The surgical procedure performed was appendectomy (71.8%). The average length of hospitalization was four days. Morbidity was 6.8%. We recorded two deaths. Conclusion: Acute surgical abdomens occupy an important place in surgery due to their high frequency. The care is multidisciplinary.
