[Biliary peritonitis: retrospective analysis of the disease].
The authors have done a biliary retrospective analysis of 10 deceased patients with a diagnosis of biliary peritonitis (BP). It is reported that the patients who died of BP are 9.5% of all who died of diffuse purulent peritonitis. All deceased patients were advanced and well advanced in years with prolonged complaints--in over 50% of them over 5 years. The complications set in 50% of the cases are recorded in the postoperative period. The perforation of the gallbladder and the biliopancreatitis are in the second place. Intrabiliary fistulas with 4 patients and 1 with a vesicocolon fistula; tumor of the pancreas with 4 patients; empyema of the gallbladder--3; diabetes with 3 of the patients and others are recorded as accompanying troubles which complicate the operation and the outcome of it. The time between the beginning of the complication and the operation with all the deceased patients is over 72 hours.
