[Laparostomy in treatment of diffuse peritonitis]
Abstract:
Two methods for laparostomy were used in peritonitis: programmed sanitation and variant of N.S. Makokha method (68.8 and 31.2% of patients respectively). 215 patients with diffuse peritonitis have been under control for the period from 1989 to 1997, beginning with the method of Makokha for laparostomy and then converting to programmed sanitation. Lethality rate in 1989-1992 made up 67.6%, in 1993-1997--35.4%. Among the patients, in whom for performing elective sanitation "ventrophiles" were fixed during the initial operation, lethality made up 25.7% and if it was done during the second and later procedures, lethality made up 45.7%.
Insights
Programmed sanitation significantly reduced mortality in diffuse peritonitis patients compared to the Makokha method. Early "ventrophiles" use in sanitation also improved survival rates.
Area of Science:
- Surgery
- Critical Care Medicine
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Diffuse peritonitis presents significant mortality challenges.
- Laparostomy is a critical intervention for managing peritonitis.
- Evaluating surgical techniques is vital for improving patient outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the efficacy of two laparostomy methods in treating diffuse peritonitis.
- To assess the impact of programmed sanitation versus the Makokha method on mortality rates.
- To determine the influence of the timing of "ventrophiles" fixation on patient survival.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective study of 215 diffuse peritonitis patients from 1989 to 1997.
- Comparison of programmed sanitation (68.8%) and Makokha method (31.2%) for laparostomy.
- Analysis of lethality rates based on treatment period and "ventrophiles" fixation timing.
Main Results:
- Lethality decreased from 67.6% (1989-1992) to 35.4% (1993-1997) with the adoption of programmed sanitation.
- Patients undergoing "ventrophiles" fixation during initial operation had a 25.7% lethality rate.
- Patients with "ventrophiles" fixation during second or later procedures had a 45.7% lethality rate.
Conclusions:
- Programmed sanitation is associated with a significant reduction in mortality for diffuse peritonitis.
- Early "ventrophiles" fixation during laparostomy improves survival outcomes in peritonitis patients.
- The shift towards programmed sanitation and early intervention strategies has demonstrably improved survival rates.
