[Prophylaxis and treatment of postoperative complications in peritonitis of appendicular genesis]

Area of Science:

• Pediatric Surgery
• Surgical Infections
• Laser Therapy

Background:

• Appendicitis and peritonitis are significant causes of postoperative complications in children.
• Traditional treatments for these conditions have associated morbidity rates.
• Novel therapeutic approaches are needed to reduce complications.

Purpose of the Study:

• To analyze the effectiveness of low-intensive laser radiation in treating postoperative complications.
• To evaluate the impact of laser therapy on children with destructive appendicitis and appendicular peritonitis.

Main Methods:

• Retrospective analysis of treatment outcomes in 227 children.
• Comparison of complication rates between laser therapy and control groups.
• Assessment of various forms of peritonitis treated with laser radiation.

Main Results:

• The overall frequency of postoperative complications was 17.3%.
• Laser therapy group showed a 50% reduction in complication rates compared to control groups.
• Low-intensive laser radiation proved expedient for treating diverse forms of peritonitis.

Conclusions:

• Low-intensive laser radiation is an effective therapeutic modality for managing postoperative complications in pediatric appendicitis and peritonitis.
• This approach significantly reduces the incidence of complications, offering a promising alternative to conventional methods.
• Further research may explore optimal laser parameters and long-term outcomes.
