title: [Multiorgan system failure in postoperative period].
abstract: The manifestations of multiorgan dysfunction were revealed after 69 operations (40%). The classification of the degrees of operative risk by N.N. Malinovsky is sufficiently simple and adequate for evaluation of influence of surgery. The most common causes of multiorgan failure syndrome, according to our experience, are repeated operations performed for early postoperative complications and (even minor) diagnostic procedures in patients in poor condition, with inoperable tumor of the biliary tracts, the pancreas and the stomach. When predicting the development of multiorgan system failure, great attention should be paid to manifestations of the diseases of the upper airways, cardiovascular system and of encephalopathies, because each of these disturbances may be assessed as a prodrome of multiorgan system failure.
