    Summary

    Postoperative peritonitis (PP) affects 1.4% of surgical patients, with high mortality rates, especially in oncology cases. Early relaparotomy with source control is crucial for survival.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Context:

    • Retrospective analysis of 296 patients with postoperative peritonitis (PP).
    • PP incidence varies by anatomical location and patient age.
    • Oncological patients exhibit a higher mortality rate.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the therapeutic strategies for postoperative peritonitis.
    • To identify underlying causes and challenges in diagnosing PP.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of early relaparotomy.

    Summary:

    • Postoperative peritonitis (PP) represents 1.4% of surgical cases, with incidence rates varying across different surgical sites (e.g., colorectal diseases at 8%).
    • Overall mortality is 69%, significantly higher in oncological patients (73.5%).
    • Key causes include anastomotic insufficiency, contamination, technical errors, and compromised tissue.
    • Diagnosis remains challenging despite comprehensive examinations.
    • Early relaparotomy, focusing on source control, peritoneal lavage, drainage, and ileostomy, is presented as the primary life-salvaging intervention.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the significant morbidity and mortality associated with PP.
    • Underscores the diagnostic difficulties and the critical role of timely surgical intervention.
    • Emphasizes the need for improved management strategies for PP, even with advancements in supportive care.
