[Low-intensity laser irradiation in the combined treatment of suppurative peritonitis].

The results of treatment of 32 patients with diffuse forms of purulent peritonitis are analyzed. Prolonged laparoscopic sanitation of the peritoneal cavity, combined with He-Ne laser irradiation of the peritoneum and parenchymatous organs, were effectively used in the complex of therapeutic measures. For immunity stimulation intravascular laser irradiation of the blood was carried out. The terms of normalization of local inflammatory shifts in the peritoneum shortened and the number of lethal outcomes decreased. Prospects for the use of this method are outlined.
