[Abscessed omentitis in children]

Abscessing omentitis was diagnozed in 0.02% of children operated upon for destructive appendicitis. The most probable causes of the abscesses were resection of its inflammatory portion not within the limits of healthy tissues, and not performing a resection of the inflamed omentum during appendectomy. The preoperative diagnostics proves to be difficult. All the patients were subjected to resection of the omentum with the abscess within the limits of healthy tissues. All the patients recovered.
