[Our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of diffuse peritonitis].
Acute diffuse peritonitis is still an unpredictable occurrence that hinders patient's survival and is a severe challenge for the surgeon regarding diagnosis and management. The Authors report their experience on 94 cases of acute diffuse peritonitis due to different causes observed during a period of 10 years. Surgical treatment was mainly based on severity of clinica data and general conditions of the patients. Overall mortality was 6.3%. Modern diagnostic techniques, proper usage of antibiotics and accurate timing of surgical procedure constitute the main factors for un update management of peritonitis.
