[Early relaparotomy after operations on the stomach]

The analysis of intraperitoneal complication having developed after operations on stomach has been carried out. For these complications 104 patients (9.1%) have undergone relaparotomy. The most frequent causes of relaparotomy appeared to be peritonitis (47.1%), adhesive obstruction (12.5%) and pancreonecrosis (11.5%). For recent 10 years such complications as peritonitis and adhesive obstruction are met rarely that resulted in lowering of relaparotomy cases to 6.2%. Distinct relation between the type of operation carried out and the frequency of development of postoperative intraperitoneal complications has been noted. Diagnostic defects and intraperitoneal complication treatment were revealed in 26% of cases. Lethality in this group of patients was 92.6%. Early diagnostics and adequate treatment of occurring intraperitoneal complications have been found to be one of the best methods of improvement of stomach surgery results.
