Abstract
It is rational and safe to use metronidazole in peritoneal and wound lavage for the treatment of severe infection. The results of this study compare favorably with that of other studies. In this study, new light has been shed on the treatment of intraperitoneal sepsis, but there is still more work to be done in evaluating the therapeutic value of metronidazole lavage in wounds.
