[Our experience in treating peritonitis following cesarean section].

Fourteen parturients were admitted and treated in the ward of emergency operative gynecology of the "N. I. Pirogov" RNPISMP for the period of 1980-1986 in connection with peritonitis after caesarean section. Four out of 14 parturients died. The clinical course of peritonitis after caesarean section is changed considerably under present conditions. Nontypical symptoms of its course create considerable difficulties in diagnosis and lead to late therapeutic measures, which worsen the outcome of treatment considerably. Some peculiarities in the clinical course of peritonitis are described in this paper. A method for surgical treatment and measures for the postoperative period are proposed.
