[Penetrating wounds of abdominal cavity in children].

An analysis of treatment of 26 children with penetrating wounds of the abdominal cavity has been made. Extensive laparotomy and careful revision of internal organs is shown to be necessary on the establishing of the penetrating character of the wound. The presence of shock is not a contraindication to operation. Modern anesthesiological methods and intensive treatment in the postoperative period improve results of the treatment.
