title: [Use of acupuncture for restoring motor and transit functions of the stomach and intestines in suppurative peritonitis].
abstract: With the aim of restoration of motor-evacuatory function of the stomach and intestine, the acupuncture was used in 220 patients with purulent peritonitis. The positive effect after single procedure was noted in all the patients with local peritonitis. In 100 patients with diffuse peritonitis, 2-3 procedures were required to achieve clinical effect. There was no effect in 20 patients. The total lethality was 9.1%, in diffuse forms of peritonitis--14%.
