CURRENT APPROACHES IN DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH PERITONITIS

Abstract

Background: Intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) are a wide range of pathological conditions that affect all intra-abdominal tissues and organs. These include both inflammation of individual organs and any type of peritonitis (primary, secondary, tertiary), where the severity of the disease often depends on the spread of inflammation - local or diffuse peritonitis. Methods: In this article ,we present a review and analysis of current definitions, classifications, and approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of intra-abdominal infections. Results and Conclusions: IAIs remain an important cause of morbidity and mortality in modern surgical practice worldwide. Early and accurate clinical diagnosis, adequate local control, appropriate antimicrobial therapy according to the patient's risk factors and infection, and prompt resuscitation in critically ill patients are the cornerstones of IAI management. The application of the principles of evidence-based medicine and the individual approach to patients is crucial for optimizing results.
