[Disputable aspects of surgical treatment of acute disseminated purulent peritonitis].
The comparative clinical analysis of effectiveness of two methods of treatment of acute purulent disseminated peritonitis was performed. In the 1st group (63 patients) the semiopen method was used, in the 2nd group (45 patients)--open method was used. The rate of mortality in the 1st group was 68.3%, in the 2nd group--71.1%. The duration of in-hospital period was 53.4 +/- 3.9 days and 52.1 +/- 4.4 days, respectively. A great number of postoperative complications was noted in both groups. In contrast to other authors, no advantages of the open method over the semiopen method were found.
