[Acute abdomen after cardiac surgery].
Acute abdomen after cardiosurgery accounts for a minor group of complications, however, they are associated with a high mortality and morbidity. In 2001 in the authors department 940 cardiac operations were performed. In four patients (0.43%) during the early postoperative period acute abdomen developed which called for urgent surgical intervention. Two patients died. Only early diagnosis and subsequent urgent laparotomy can have a positive impact on the prognosis of this group of patients.
