title: Continuous postoperative peritoneal lavage in diffuse peritonitis using balanced saline antibiotic solution.
abstract: Results of postoperative peritoneal lavage using balanced saline and antibiotic solution in 30 patients with diffuse peritonitis have been presented. The results of this study show that such lavage is a significantly useful adjunctive treatment in the management of diffuse peritonitis. It appreciably reduces the mortality and morbidity. Its adjunctive use in suitable cases along with surgery can be safely advocated in clinical practice.
