title: [Surgical errors in acute diseases of the abdominal cavity organs].
abstract: Case histories of dead patients were analyzed in whose life-time errors were made in diagnosis of acute abdomen. It was established that in 90 patients acute abdomen was hypodiagnozed, in 10 cases the abdominal catastrophe was hyperdiagnozed, in 4 patients the localization of the injured organ was not determined properly. The error found mainly resulted from atypical course of the disease due to age of the patients, medication effects and abnormal disposition of the injured organ, as well as to concomitant diseases and complications. The role of the attention factor in the genesis of errors is emphasized.
