    Abstract:
    Results of treatment of 49 patients with diffuse purulent peritonitis were analyzed. The patients were divided into two statistically similar groups. The control group of patients consisted of 27 patients treated using traditional methods. Patients of the main group (22) were treated by the same method, but the defect of the abdominal wall was closed using wide-meshed reticular polypropylene endoprosthesis with total size of the meshes not less than 70% of the general square surface. During every programmed sanation the prosthesis was cut longitudinally along the whole length and sutured so that the level of intraabdominal pressure was not more that 15 mm Hg. In the nearest postoperative period the main group patients had endotoxicosis 1.3 less, and the motor-evacuatory function of the intestine was 2.2 times higher which resulted in 1.3 times less postoperative lethality. In the long-term postoperative period excellent results of treatment became 13.3% more often, good results were 12.7% as compared with the control group.
