Peritonitis

Abstract: The choice of optimal concept in the therapy of severe peritonitis is essential to outcome. In approximately 10-15% of patients suffering severe peritonitis, single-stage surgery is not sufficient and additional operative therapy is required. Different therapeutic strategies such as the open-package procedure, staged abdominal repair, and on-demand relaparotomy have been developed for these situations. However, it is difficult to compare the effectiveness of each regimen because stratification tools are lackin… Show more

“…However, Teichmann et al [9] could show a fascial closure rate of 93.8% in 941 patients undergoing abdominal lavage and saline-soaked gauze dressing. Actually, these results, achieved in a large collective of patients, are superior to modern therapy concepts like VAC and cast doubt on the thesis that VAC is of prognostic value regarding the fascial closure rate compared to traditional principles of treatment, defined by Kirschner and Nordmann [1 ]in 1941.…”

“…In comparison to conventional saline-soaked gauze treatment, Bogota bags, towel clips or running skin closure, use of vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) for the open abdomen has become more important over the last years [5,6,7]. However, there are hardly any prospective studies [8] and the available data from case reports, case series and retrospective studies are inconsistent in terms of treatment and outcome, so a generally applicable therapeutic algorithm in open abdomen and secondary peritonitis is currently lacking [3,9,10,11,12]. …”

“…Eines dieser additiven Verfahren ist die Etappenlavagetherapie mit im festgelegten Zeitintervall programmierten Explorationen der Bauchhöhle [29]. Der große Vorteil dabei ist die direkte Kontrolle der initialen Herdsanierung und die zeitnahe Detektion während des Krankheitsverlaufs neu auftretender Komplikationen wie rezidivierende Nahtinsuffizienz, Organnekrosen und intestinale Perforationen, die dann wieder Ausgangspunkt (Sekundär-fokus) einer persistierenden intraabdominellen Infektion sein können.…”

“…Auf dem Boden einer -im Vergleich zu früheren Jahren -verbesserten Intensivtherapie, hochwirksamer Antibiotika und durch Fortschritte in der interventionellen Radiologie hat sich heute aber eine eher abwartende Haltung durchgesetzt. 85% der Patienten mit diffuser Peritonitis können allein mit dem von Kirschner inaugurierten Primäreingriff erfolgreich behandelt werden [29]. Reoperationen sind dann gar nicht mehr erforderlich.…”
