“…From an operative standpoint, laparoscopy offers the ability to inspect the entire abdomen and, when necessary, drain multiple sites or abscesses. Although this study looked only at pediatric patients, the same principles have been used effectively in adults with complicated abdominal abscesses with excellent results [6,12].…”

“…This practice deserves further study because intracavitary irrigation may improve the utility of percutaneous abscess drainage. Laparoscopic drainage of complicated intra-abdominal abscesses has also been advocated [19].…”

Peritonitis is a serious and common infection. Its pathogenesis and microbiology have been well defined. Such risk factors as age, site of infection, physiologic response of the patient, presence of organ dysfunction, and malnutrition may influence the outcome of this disease process. The presence of antibiotic-resistant organisms and delays in operative intervention are also associated with treatment failure and higher mortality. Surgeons have the greatest impact on this disease in their ability to control the source of infection and to administer proper antimicrobial therapy.

“…Laparoscopic drainage of intra-abdominal abscess or pancreatic necrosectomy are less common laparoscopic procedures [22]. These may be indicated if percutaneous drainage is not possible because of complicated, multilocular intra-abdominal abscesses, or dangerous route of puncture and drainage.…”
