[Surgical treatment strategy for common peritonitis in the elderly patients.].

Despite the obvious progress in the treatment of secondary peritonitis common forms, the results are far from satisfactory, especially among patients of older age groups. In some cases, a single surgical intervention is not enough for a complete elimination of the intra-abdominal infection source, which leads to repeated sanitation interventions, the order and timing of which are currently not strictly regulated. The effectiveness of the treatment algorithm, which considers a differentiated approach to planned surgical interventions in a short time in patients with severe pathomorphological changes in the abdominal cavity, was studied. The results of treatment using planned sanitation interventions demonstrated the effectiveness of the developed algorithm, allowing to reduce the overall postoperative mortality by reducing the proportion of abdominal sepsis in the structure of adverse outcomes.
