    Author: Lomidze NB, Akhmeteli TI.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1999; (7):12-5. PubMed ID: 10459178.
    Abstract:
    Results of treatment in 199 patients were analysed. The patients were divided into 3 groups. In group 1 (80 patients) acute diffuse peritonitis was treated with conventional methods, in group 2 (62 patients) conventional treatment was supplemented by exchange plasmapheresis, in group 3 (57 patients) conventional treatment was used together with extracorporeal detoxication and elective relaparotomies. Plasmapheresis and elective relaparotomies resulted in increase of effectiveness of the treatment in acute diffuse peritonitis. The intervals between the elective relaparotomies and sessions of plasmapheresis depended on the stage and the course of peritonitis. Lethality rate in conventional method of treatment for acute diffuse peritonitis made up 39%, in plasmapheresis 29%, and in combined treatment--24.5%.
