[Prediction of postoperative commissural complications in urgent abdominal surgery in children].

Acetyl phenotype was examined in 166 patients with appedicular peritonitis and in 96 patients with acute adhesive intestinal obstruction. The age of the patients ranged from 5 months to 14 years. It was revealed that postoperative adhesive complications developed mostly in patients with fast acetylation (more than 76%). It is demonstrated that acetyl phenotype may be used as a screening-test for prediction of the risk of postsoperative adhesive complications and preventive treatment.
