Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To create a system for choosing surgical approach and completing laparotomy in advanced secondary peritonitis via combination of clinical, visual intra-abdominal criteria and systems for predicting the outcomes of peritonitis.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The study included 686 patients with peritonitis between May 2015 and December 2022. Age of patients ranged from 16 to 95 years (mean 53.4±8.7). Male-to-female ratio was 1.2:11 (377:309). Destructive appendicitis was the cause of peritonitis in 274 (39.9%) patients, gastroduodenal ulcer perforation - 160 (23.3%) patients, colonic perforation - 188 (27.4%) patients, other causes - 64 (9.4%) patients. At baseline, 481 (70.1%) patients underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, and laparoscopic surgery was possible in 302 (62.8%) cases. Primary median laparotomy was performed in 205 (29.9%) patients. The closed method of completing laparotomy was used in 345 patients (77 - 22.3% died), staged elective surgeries - 28 (18 - 64.3% died), open abdomen technique was used in 11 patients (5 - 45.5% died). Redo laparotomy on demand was performed in 44 patients. Of these, 21 (47.7%) ones died. Overall mortality was 15.0% (n=103). The main causes of mortality were sepsis/septic shock (67 cases, 65.0%), acute cardiovascular and respiratory failure (15 patients, 14.6%).
RESULTS
The developed index of approach and completion of surgery in secondary peritonitis is valuable to make a decision on access and completion of surgery in patients with widespread peritonitis.
CONCLUSION
Integral systems for assessment of clinical status and choice of treatment strategy are effective in systematizing the results, evaluating treatment outcomes and conducting researches.
