[Ultrasound examination for diagnosis of postoperative peritonitis].
78 patients with peritonitis after various operations on the organs of abdominal cavity were followed up. Ultrasound examinations (n = 86) were carried out in 59 patients. In 28 of them US has revealed abscesses of the abdominal cavity. Comparative analysis showed coincidence of the diagnosis of peritonitis by clinical and roentgenological data with the results of relaparotomy in 10 (58.8%) of 17 examined patients. The same coincidence of the diagnosis of peritonitis by clinical, roentgenological and sonographic data on one side and of the results of relaparotomy on the other was found in 48 (81.4%) of 59 patients with peritonitis.
