[Postoperative biliary peritonitis]
Abstract:
An analysis of results of surgical treatment of 91 patients with postoperative biliary peritonitis has shown that frequency of postoperative biliary peritonitis depended on the volume and character of operative interventions, as well as on technical errors made at the preoperative period and during operation. The presence of latent hepatic insufficiency made for the development of polyorganic insufficiency, had negative influence on the course of the disease and might be one of the causes of high postoperative lethality (up to 23.1%) in this category of patients.
