[Decision on the method of surgical intervention for diffuse purulent peritonitis].

An analysis of complex examination and following treatment of 245 patients with diffuse purulent peritonitis has shown that the traditional (semi-closed) method of treatment should be used in patients with symptoms of abdominal sepsis. Programmed video-laparoscopies are indicated to patients with symptoms of abdominal sepsis with/without mono-organic insufficiency. Staged surgical sanations of the abdominal cavity are indicated to patients with severe abdominal sepsis with poly-organic insufficiency.
