Overview
- The type and extent of surgery depends on the underlying disease processing the severity of intra-abdominal infection.
- Definitive interventions to restore functional anatomy include:
removing the source of the antimicrobial contamination and repairing the anatomic or functional disorder causing the infection.
- This is accomplished by surgical intervention.
Surgery (laparotomy) is needed to perform a full exploration and lavage of the peritoneum, as well as to correct any gross anatomical damage which may have caused peritonitis.[1] The exception is spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, which does not benefit from surgery.
- Nonoperative interventions for accessible abscess include: percutaneous drainage, which minimizes the risk of surgery.
