[Criteria of early diagnosis of postoperative peritonitis in abdominal injuries]
Abstract
The article deals with 221 relaparotomies in abdominal injuries. It was undertaken for postoperative peritonitis in 136 (61.5%) patients. It was established that signs of intoxication are the early diagnostic criteria of peritonitis which determine the indications for laparotomy in injuries to the abdomen. Signs of peritoneal irritation are less informative. The diagnosis of postoperative peritonitis can be made sufficiently objectively on the grounds of a diagnostic index suggested by the authors.
