    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 2007; (11):36-9. PubMed ID: 18163121.
    Abstract:
    Results of treatment using laparoscopic operations, traditional laparotomy with passive abdominal drainage and laparostomy at 1835 patients with peritonitis are analyzed. It is demonstrated that choice of surgical policy depends on ethiology, generalization of peritonitis, abdominal microphlora, degree of endogenous intoxication and organs failure, prognosis of disease. Lethality after laparoscopic operations was 1.8%, after traditional laparotomy--3.4%, after laparostomy--47.7%. Lethality at local peritonitis was 1.3%, at generalized--13.8%, at postoperative--22%. General lethality was 7.4%. Experimental studies on 55 mongrel dogs demonstrated the advantage of mechanical suture at peritonitis that prevents insufficiency of anastomoses.
