The widely used traditional method of surgical treatment of patients with widespread purulent peritonitis failed to establish itself as universal and has a large number of disadvantages, which prompts the use of new methods of managing patients in the postoperative period in surgical practice. The case described in the work illustrates the possibilities of a successful integrated approach in the treatment of diffuse purulent peritonitis against the background of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome, which includes the «Open abdomen» and «VAC-therapy» techniques, the use of which leads to a persistent decrease in both IАP and relief of the phenomena of purulent inflammation in the abdominal cavity. Conclusions. The use of VAC-therapy in combination with the «Open abdomen» technique leads to a persistent decrease in both ICP and relief of the phenomena of purulent inflammation in the abdominal cavity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
