[Reglamentation of treatment of children with acute surgical diseases in general surgical departments for adults]

Abstract

Almost 60% of children with acute surgical diseases are treated by general surgeons in district hospitals. Insufficient knowledge of the specific features of childhood leads to a large number of tactical and technical errors. Fifteen years ago regional administration issued regulation standards for district hospitals depending on their ability to provide emergency surgical care to children of different age and condition. It significantly improved the results of medical help in this group of patients.
