[Local noncircumscribed peritonitis in acute appendicitis].

An analysis of 280 clinical observations of acute appendicitis complicated by local noncircumscribed peritonitis was performed. It was shown that the pathology was characterized by more acute clinical course, later time of operative interventions, greater amount of postoperative complications and longer staying at the hospital. In the treatment of appendicitis complicated by local peritonitis main attention must be given to sanitation of the abdominal cavity and complex postoperative management after appendectomy.
