    Abstract:
    The efficacy of Noxythiolin in solution for peritoneal toilet during operation on 48 patients with acute generalized peritonitis was evaluated. The trial was prospective, with random selection of patients who were divided into two groups with identical backgrounds, initial affections, and therapies applied. No significant differences were noted in prognosis, bacteriological findings or subsequent course in the survivors in the two groups. The only favorable effect noted in the group treated with Noxythiolin was the frequency with which further operations had to be performed, but the difference was nos significant. Though the use of peritoneal antiseptics isjustified when positive bacteriological test are reported, the determining element in peritoneal toilet appears to be the volume of liquid employed, independently of its composition.
