Abstract

Under analysis was the material of the department of urgent and consultation medical aid (sanitary aviation) for the last 20 years. It was found that under conditions of surgical departments of central regional hospitals multiple relaparotomies made up 12.5% of all reoperations. It was shown that results of the multiple relaparotomies were dependent on urgent coming of a consultant and active surgical treatment on the spot. Reconstructive operations for intestinal fistulas must be performed under conditions of a specialized proctological department.

[Common abdominal emergency cases a the end of the 20th century].

Despite the marked decline in mortality of acute appendicitis over the past 50 years, the rate of perforation and negative appendectomy remains unchanged. The most effective means of controlling human suffering and economic cost associated with appendicitis is the identification and correction of factors responsible for perforation. Negative appendectomy rates have been relatively stable over the decades. Progress in diagnosis and diagnostic imaging still has not provided a foolproof non-invasive test to rule out the presence of appendicitis accurately. Clinical assessment determines the treatment and the clinical observation should be done by the surgeon. The use of H2-receptor antagonists has not reduced emergency admission of patients with duodenal ulcer. Mortality associated with perforated peptic ulcer remains high in spite of advances in surgical management. The patients with acute obstructed cholecystitis usually reach the surgeon with more advanced stage of the disease which results in increased morbidity and subsequently increased cost for undergoing cholecystectomy. If the patient develops severe diffuse peritonitis, the mortality could reach 30%. This is in spite of aggressive surgical treatment, potent antibiotics, modern intensive care and diagnostic procedures. To improve the results, more advanced treatment to avoid the development of peritonitis and more effective antibiotics to control the inflammation will be needed.
